Welcome to the

Seven Lakes Band

For All Wind Students

Additional Wind Material

We have selected additional exercises for SOME of the instruments - if your instrument does not have an additional exercise below then the audition etude above is all you will have to play for your audition

Flute Register Slurs

Clarinet Register Slurs

Trumpet Range Builder

Horn Range Builder

Trombone/Euphonium Range Builder

*only perform the highlighted portions*

*each exercise is at 96bpm*

Percussion Material

All students can choose two different instruments to audition for between:
-Snare
-Tenor
-Bass
-Front Ensemble

They will be expected to mark-time during the Marching Instruments and to “pulse” during the front ensemble audition. This will be taught by me at a later date.
Reading through the packets BEFORE working on the music is crucial to their success as musicians in this.
All exercise should be played at a minimum tempo of 100 BPM with a maximum tempo of 145 BPM.
Auditions will be held the second week of may 9th -13th and students will sign-up for an afternoon time slot for their individual audition.
