Audition Guidelines & Process
MUSIC AUDITIONS
All incoming Vanguard students who are interested in the music program and/or participating in a music ensemble are required to perform an audition in their primary performing medium. Audition appointments are scheduled on a first come first serve basis and are approximately 30 minutes in length. Auditions are used to gauge performance level, range on an instrument, and helps inform ensemble placements as well as potential music scholarships.
It is the responsibility of the student to be in contact with the music department regarding audition dates and deadlines. To audition, all students should prepare pieces that reflect their level of musical achievement.
