Audition Requirements

Please note that FRC produces shows on a volunteer, recreational basis, and does not financially compensate participants except for pre-approved show-related expenses.

If you have never played with us before, or would like to meet the musical director in person, please book a spot IN PERSON on SUNDAY. Please prepare the following:
- one-two (1-2) minutes of a selection showcasing range, emotion and technique. It should be a jazz standard, or a contemporary etude (neoclassical or post-tonal).
- scales, either myxolidian (key of choice) or melodic minor in proper form

The audition will also involve a sight-reading component from the show totalling no more than 24 measures.

If you have played with us before, and prefer a PHONE INTERVIEW, please book a spot BY PHONE on MONDAY.

Please provide any potential rehearsal conflicts on the audition form, we will review this with you prior to your audition.
