Instrumentalists:

Play two scales with which you are very comfortable—using as much of your instrument's range as possible.
Play an excerpt of your part from an ensemble piece OR a short solo piece. Please name the excerpt or solo and the composer.
Provide a brief recommendation from your ensemble director. That recommendation should include a reference to your sight-reading ability and musical leadership within the ensemble.

Vocalists:

Sing, without accompaniment, either Amazing Grace or My Country Tis of Thee in a key that is comfortable for you. Then sing the same song one step higher and one step lower to give us an idea of your range.
Sing 32 bars from your part of one of the pieces you are working on in your school ensemble. Identify the name and composer of the piece, and the voice part you will be singing. Give yourself the starting pitch for your part.
Provide a brief recommendation from your choral director. That recommendation should include a reference to your sight-reading ability.
