On Campus
Several Saturdays throughout the school year are set aside for formal
on-campus auditions. These are the best times to audition. If,
however, none of them are possible, a private audition can be
arranged on a mutually convenient weekday. Here are the formal
audition dates for the '99-00 school year:
December 4, 1999
January 22, 2000
February 5, 2000
March 11, 2000
Off Campus
The Crane School of Music also holds off-campus auditions in
Rochester, Amherst, Albany, and Long Island. These will take place
February 19-22. Please contact the Crane School of Music for
information concerning these dates.
Auditioning Early
Since admission to the Crane trumpet program is very
competitive--only eight to ten students are accepted each year--it is
possible that all available openings can become filled before the
last audition days. It is recommended that you audition as early in
the school year as possible to avoid getting shut out. (Of course,
don't pick an early date if you won't have adequate time for
preparation.)
For more information and an application, or to
sign up for an audition, please contact the
Crane
School of Music or Dr.Ellis at
ellisjr@potsdam.edu. Be sure to include you name, address (analog please), and
phone number, and whether you will be a freshman, transfer, or
graduate student.
