They will be going over what to expect in the audition, score sheet categories, and how the scoring works. Also covers preparation and audition strategies along with grade-level specific, hands-on workshops on the scales and etudes. Staff will be Seth Gamba and Dr. James Barket (perennial All State bass judges) along with Gloria Allgood (Associate Principal Bass in the ASO).
The workshop is free, but requires registration by acquiring a free ticket through this link. Make sure students use a non-school e-mail address so their ticket confirmation does not get blocked.
