Background
Last April I auditioned and was accepted for a position in the Texas Air Guard Band. This December I have a reaudition (I was accepted) but couldn't do it due to school.
This piece is for that purpose for a rentry.
I was thinking
Bach Cello Suite for Cello in G Major, its written for Tenor/clarinet. But its not accompinied.
The reason I was thinking this piece, is I preformed it last time I auditioned, and their were some painful screwups.
Or two Ferling Etudes which I stress Vibrato which was something I was lacking, and try to get perfect tuning on all the long notes.
I'm looking for ideas on what to preform. I need to be able to work it up, and have it ready audition date is december 15 or 16. So its pretty late to choose a piece.
I would audition on probably Alto, easier to keep up with and has sort of become my main.
Personal Opinions on the Guard Band and military service
You're opinions are very well known on the subject of my wishing to enter military service. Their is a 100 post thread about the subject. That is not what this thread is for. DO NOT POST YOUR OPINION ON THE TOPIC, you shall recieve no response from me about it. This is my dream, one of the few things that has kept me keeping on with everything musicially in my toughest times is this dream.
I'm heading home this weekend and I'm heading to Penders to look at and possibly purchase my audition piece should they have it. Unfortunatly I don't have the ability to speak with my teacher about it before I go home tomorrow.
I need a slow piece that I can feature a lot of Vibrato that was something that was missing majorly in my last aud. And something that I have worked tirelessly to improve.
Thanks
