North Carolina Governor’s School – 2017 Instrumental Music Audition – Solo Performance Choices Auditions for Instrumental Music for the 2017 session of the North Carolina Governor’s School will be held on Saturday, February 11, 2017 at a to-be-announced high school in Raleigh. Only a student whose nomination has been sent by their public school system, charter school, special school or private school to the Office of the North Carolina Governor’s School may audition. Each student will receive an official audition invitation letter in January. INSTRUCTIONS: The audition consists of two parts: Solo Performance and Sight-Reading. Other important details are at http://www.ncgovschool.org/nomination/instrumental or Pages 7- 8 of the Nomination Packet.  All nominees must bring their own instrument. (For percussion nominees, we will provide a xylophone, a marimba, and a set of four timpani for those who wish to play these instruments as part of their audition. Nominees are expected to bring their own sticks and mallets, snare drum and stand, and timpani stool, as applicable.) All nominees are to perform unaccompanied.  All nominees will choose, practice and perform one solo from this list of instrument- specific selections, not to exceed two minutes – SEE BELOW. Nominees must play a piece from their list, not that of a different instrument.  Percussion nominees must play solos on at least two of the following: snare drum, mallet percussion, and timpani. Percussionists may perform on all three. Each solo (or portion thereof) should not exceed two minutes. Percussionists auditioning on timpani should bring a tuning fork or pitch pipe and be prepared to tune without electronic devices.  Cello and bassoon nominees are not necessarily required to select a solo performance piece that includes tenor clef. However, the sight-reading will include excerpts with tenor clef; students should prepare accordingly.  Nominees should consult with their music teachers or band directors to choose the piece that best displays their technical and musical abilities. Nominees must bring one original and one copy of their selection to auditions. The nominee will use the original and the judge will use the copy. Nominees arriving for auditions with only the original of their selection must be prepared to play by memory. NO EXCEPTIONS CAN BE MADE.  In addition to those from music teachers and/or band directors, many musical pieces are available online. Some helpful websites are: http://www.imslp.org for ‘public domain’; http://www.jwpepper.com for fee-based pieces.
