AUDITIONS
Rhythm Section - Auditions for Guitar, Bass, Drums, and Keyboards will take place on Monday, January 12 from 5-6:30 PM.
Please fill out this form prior to auditions if possible.
Students should prepare the section of the show from Come Together through In My Life/Here Comes the Sun (somewhat of a mash-up). We will stop when you get to "When I'm 64". You can find the music HERE.
During the auditions, you will play through this section with the full rhythm section auditioning. We will rotate members and hear different combinations.
You may also prepare something else to play to show your skills on your instrument. The selection does not have to be by The Beatles but should demonstrate your ability to play in the diverse pop/rock styles of The Beatles.
Note: While sheet music is provided, you do not need to play it "to the note." As popular music functions, there is room for improvisation and variation that feels natural and "in the pocket" of the song.
Other Instrumentalists - other instrumentalists in this ensemble are comprised of Del Borgo members. If you are not currently a memeber and would like to audition for Del Borgo, you may send a solo of yourself performing on your instrument to Mr. Easler at any time.
Singers - Vocal auditions will be announced at a later date.
