Fauxditions Info: Fall 2020 Yale Precision Marching Band

Fauxditions Format.

The YPMB will hold fauxditions (unofficial, no-cut auditions) for new members over Zoom (login info to come) on Tuesday and Wednesday, September 1 and 2. 

The YPMB welcomes people of ALL skill levels. We admit experienced players as well as people who have never touched an instrument before. Regardless of whether you are a talented musician, a composer/arranger, someone who likes to build things or even just someone with a sense of humor, the YPMB would be a great place for you. Feel free to play all or some of the pieces below, (or none, if you don’t play an instrument), as a part of your fauxdition. We hope that you all can use the fauxditions as a chance to get to know your section leader and have a good time!

Please fill out this interest form and we will ensure that your section leader gets in touch with you!
