Auditions Advice

Don't be afraid to audition...

*  Come prepared to play all audition materials included in the packet. The better you know the material, the better your audition experience, the better you look!

*The most important part of the audition is your attitude and technical improvement throughout the day.

*Bring a practice pad to keep warm between auditions. RealFeel drum pads work well if you are in need of one.

*Relax during your audition and have a good time.  We're looking for committed players and positive people.

*It may help to have a secondary audition instrument.  Many snare and tenor "auditionees" make the line on bass drum.

*If the most important thing to you is simply being a part of Su Fu Du, without regards to the instrument you play, make that apparent in your interview.

*Be flexible during ensemble time.  The instrument you are put on at one time or another may not be the spot you are eventually given.
