Hey everyone,
A Euphonium audition was just announced today for the Naval Academy Band in Annapolis, MD. For those who don't know, it is one of the two premier level bands in the Navy, starting at E6 paygrade. The audition materials have not been released yet, on the website it says that they will be released on May 20th. See the link for more info.

Thanks very much for posting this, David. I've often wondered what it would take to get into one fo the service bands. Now I start practicing...for my next lifetime.

The audition packet for this is now available as a free download. I was pleased to note that it contains an excerpt from my special arrangement of the Argeggione Sonata by Schubert!
