- ALL PERCUSSIONISTS... Please submit this form (https://bit.ly/OSMBpercussion) by Thursday, April 16th.
- Battery (a.k.a. Drumline) will prepare and video themselves performing specific excerpts from the "Battery WarmUps" packet and the Rudimental Excerpt from the "Audition Excerpts" page listed below.
- Though our entire warm-up packet is available, these are the specific exercises you will need to submit: (1) 8 on a Hand, (2) 5-7-9, (3) Roll Development. Don't forget the Rudimental Excerpt from the "Audition Packet".
- Taking the place of sightreading, we will post an additional excerpt by Sunday, April 26th that will need to be submitted by Wednesday, April 29th.
- The video below was created by our percussion instruction Mr. Pham, and not only demonstrates the audition excerpts and how to work on them, but so much more that will help you develop your rudimental playing ability. Check it out!
- Tips on how to submit and in what format will be posted later this week.
- If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, feel free to contact Mr. Coughlin, ccoughlinos@olatheschools.org.
Submitting your audition
- Join the 2020 OSHS Drumline Auditions Google classroom. Go to https://classroom.google.com/ and use class code dxeuyu5. You must be logged in with your @students.olatheschools.com account to join.
- Record a separate video for each excerpt. There are 5 total excerpts (see info in bullet points above). Make sure the video recording device is far enough back and on an angle so that your hands, sticks and drumming surface (practice pad, snare, etc.) are clearly visible. You may use an audible metronome while you are making your recordings.
- Upload the corresponding video clip to the Google classroom assignment with the same name. Make sure Google classroom clearly indicates it has been "Turned In" for each of the 5 assignments or contact Mr. Coughlin to have him confirm.
