We welcome new members for the Fall Semester of Wind Ensemble! Auditions are only to determine seating assignments: any student who plays a band instrument (woodwind, brass, or percussion) is welcome to participate. This semester we'll be playing works by George Gershwin (Rhapsody in Blue), Katajh Copley (Bridges), Florence Price (Adoration), Gustav Holst (Second Suite in F), and Lalo Schifrin (the theme from Mission Impossible).

To audition, please prepare any 3-4 minute excerpt from your repertoire. Play anything that you feel comfortable playing and that will give me a sense of your current level. Auditions are very low-key and friendly, so while it's very natural to be nervous about auditions, please know that we try to make auditions a very welcoming space.

Auditions will be held in-person in Lang Music Building during the first week of classes in September. A scheduler for auditions will be posted here at the end of August.

If you are not yet sure if you'd like to join Wind Ensemble, please attend our first rehearsal on Thursday, September 5 at 7:00 pm in Lang Concert Hall to learn more about it. 

Wind Ensemble can be taken for 0.5 credit or 0 credit. We rehearse on Thursday nights in Lang Concert Hall from 7:00-9:30 pm. Please email ahauze1@swarthmore.edu with any questions.
