AUDITIONS

Just wondering if anyone can give me some advice on auditioning for Percussion? I am currently Grade 8 on drum kit and i am studying for Grade 5 on tuned percussion for december and then Grade 8 next summer. Would the panel prefer me doing Drum kit, Tuned percussion or both? and any tips as to what pieces to play?

Thanks! Joe

Errrr, you can't just be a kit player, percussionists are all tuned percussionists

well i've played in brass bands as a percussionist for many years, playing both kit and tuned.
Just didn't know if they'd want me to play both at the audition or not.

probably, as those are the instruments you would be expected to play
