We generally hold auditions during the last weekend before classes at the beginning of each school year in the afternoon and early evening. If for whatever reason you didn't audition but would still like to be in Dpops, don't worry about it: we're always happy to consider more musicians. Depending on when you contact us, we'll determine which concerts you are eligible to play in, but generally speaking, all you need to do is e-mail Trinh or Kelly, and we'll set up a time. Prepare a brief solo that represents your abilities. You may also receive some short excerpts of sight reading. We would love for you to give us a try; we promise you will not regret it. (We're sure Cole Porter would have joined if he were living today.)
Oh, and you definitely do not have to be a Davenport student to join. Our group represents a cross-section of all residential colleges, all instrument families, all personalities, and a passion to excite our audience by playing the music that they, and we, dream about.
The auditions for the 2009 season will take place on Monday and Tuesday, August 31 and September 1 at Dunham Labs 220 from 9AM to 5PM. Please come prepared with a short solo (~3 min). You will also be asked to sight read a short excerpt.
