Symphonic Band
Conducted by James
Kalyn, the Symphonic Band performs a wide variety
of challenging works from the wonderful repertoire for
full band, and also includes works from the long tradition
of large chamber and serenade literature. Participation
is encouraged from any Mount Allison student, and from
community members who demonstrate a high level of musicianship
and commitment. Symphonic Band is a great way to continue
the use and refinement of your musical and intellectual
skills in an upbeat atmosphere that brings together
people from many disciplines in the spirit of liberal
arts and the pursuit of excellence.

2012-2013 Auditions:
Auditions will be held on Saturday September
1 through Tuesday September 4. Both new and
returning members must sign up for and play a 10-minute
audition. Sign-up sheets are posted outside Rm. 108
in the Music Conservatory (MYBC). If you are unsure
about your schedule, the time commitment, the level
of difficulty, or the audition process please contact
Dr. Kalyn and discuss your concerns, but sign up to
audition in any case. An audition form will be available
for you to complete and bring to the audition.
Audition requirements and materials are provided below
as a downloadable PDF. Printed copies are also available
in MYBC Rm. 108. Prepare the excerpts slowly and carefully,
paying attention to detail such as articulation and
tuning.
NOTE: if you find an excerpt to be too difficult,
simply play it slower. It is far more important to be
accurate than to be fast.
If you have any questions about the audition materials
or want help with their preparation please contact James
Kalyn at (506) 364-2382, jkalyn@mta.ca.
