ECKMEA Supplemental Piano Audition - 2024
ECKMEA will be conducting a supplemental piano audition for the 2024 ECKMEA Honor Bands. The selected student would rehearse with the ECKMEA Honor Red Band on December 6 and 7 and perform at the concert on December 7. For the audition, students need to perform the following excerpts from David Maslanka's Illuminations. Excerpts are outlined in red in the excerpt PDF file.
Measures 1-5 and 12 - 15
Measures 63 to the downbeat of 72
Measures 113 - 119
Beat 2 of measure 152 - measure 158
Students should prepare a video recording performing the listed excerpts. Videos should be recorded from the side so that the student and the piano keyboard are both visible. Excerpts should be recorded consecutively with an appropriate pause between each section. Recordings or unlisted Youtube links should be submitted to Justin Love, ECKMEA Honor Band Chair via email no later than 11:59 PM on Friday, November 8, 2024 by the student's director. Please also include the student's name and school in the email.
A panel of directors will evaluate the audio portion of submitted recordings during Live Auditions on November 9, and the selected student will be listed on the ECKMEA Honor Red Band roster on the ECKMEA Website.
