All excerpt packets include additional excerpts. You are only required to play the standard section excerpts. Other excerpts are only required if you are auditioning for a specific position (principal position, piccolo flute, bass clarinet, Eb clarinet, English Horn, contrabassoon, etc…).

Schedule

Rehearsals are typically held Saturday mornings from 9 AM to 12 PM (with a 15-minute break).

Our rehearsal venue is dependent on the performance venue, but is generally in or near the LA area, at UCLA by default.

There are 4 to 5 Saturday rehearsals depending on the program, and guest artist. Normally, concerts are scheduled for Sunday with a 1.5-hour dress rehearsal, and a 1.5 hour meal break in between (meal provided).
