How to Audition
At Manchester, everyone is welcome to audition for one or moreย music ensembles, regardless of major.
On Campus Auditions
Audition on campus and get live, instant feedback from a member of the Music Department faculty. Multiple time slots are available from which you can choose.
On-campus auditions can be scheduled individually by emailing music@manchester.edu to set up a time.
Video Auditions
Record your audition, upload to YouTube and email a link to music@manchester.edu. If your pieces require accompaniment, you must include an accompanist or accompaniment track. Once weโve viewed your video, weโll arrange a brief interview via Zoom to give feedback and let you know your next steps.
What to Prepare for your Audition
For your audition, you may perform any piece that you feel represents your current playing or singing level. You can also audition on multiple instruments or voice. For instrumentalists, please include one or two scales of your choice. For color guard auditions, please contact us directly for more information.
