OSBOURN PARK HIGH SCHOOL BAND PROGRAM
AUDITION INFORMATION
  
 

Auditions for the Wind Ensemble will be held during the month of May 2010.  If you are interested in becoming a member of the Wind Ensemble next year you must audition due to the limited number of available spaces. 

 

The word "Audition" can sometimes make people feel uneasy but the main purpose is to determine if a student has the tone and technical range necessary to play the music that the band will be performing. 

 

Students who would like to be in band but do not wish to audition, may join the Concert Band or Percussion Ensemble. 

 

 
 

Auditions will be held by appointment in the OPHS Band room for the Wind Ensemble Program 

Contact Mr. Basham to set up a time at BashamME@pwcs.edu
