Thank you for your interest in the Instrumental Music Department at Quartz Hill HS! We understand that an audition can be intimidating, just try your best! This is an opportunity for us to get to know you as a person and musician. All auditions will be held at the QHHS bandroom. Please review the following:
- ALL auditionees will be accepted to the Quartz Hill HS Instrumental Music Department. These auditions give us the opportunity to place you in the proper ensemble to foster your growth as a musician!
- Incoming students will be doing auditions the first two weeks of school. After auditions, you and your parents can ask us any questions they have about the Music Department or QHHS.
- For returning students, we will be doing auditions during class time on May 28th and May 29th.
- We understand that some of this music may feel above your current ability. If so, just try your best!
PERCUSSION: please note that you should ideally perform an audition on BOTH a mallet instrument and a snare drum. However, if you don’t have access to one or both of these, you may even just tap out rhythms on a pad or a counter if need be. We understand these are not ideal situations.
