2nd CF Auditions

Tubas,
This email is for you. Since Joey Woolcox will graduating this spring, the low tuba seat (Tuba 2) will be open. We will, most likely, be holding auditions during finals week. There is a folder in each of your DropBox folder that has the four pieces that need to be prepared for the audition:

- Russian Sailor's Dance - Gliere
- Power - Stevens
- Ave Maria - Bruckner
- Canzona and Song - Isaac


If you are interested in auditioning, please let one of the CF members know. Most likely the auditions will be on Wednesday of finals week (May 6th). But, if some of the auditionees are already out of town, then we may have to either move it earlier or later (first week of school in August). We would like it earlier, so that whoever wins has the summer to learn the book. Any questions, please stop by and ask me, or, talk to a CF member.

Thanks,
Dr. Cox

Scale Day Postponed

Studio,
Normally I would never postpone such an important day. But with Ralph Sauer here today (former principal trombone with The Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra) giving a masterclass and performing for us, I want to postpone scale day to another day (TBA). So today, head to Staples at 11:00 am for the trombone masterclass/performance (no instruments). Mr. Sauer will be on stage from 11:00-1:00. If you have a class at noon, then you should go. But, if you are free at noon, please STRONGLY consider staying.

Thanks,
Dr. Cox
