Percussionists - We are always looking for well-rounded percussionists who can play all parts. The full audition is encouraged; snare and mallets are minimum (tracks 1-3). The panel will listen for strengths in all areas - the more material there is to listen to, the easier to determine percussionists who are multi-faceted. i.e. if at all possible, do all five tracks.
