College Audition Information

The following downloadable information will help you in your college audition process. Get started early. Most prescreens will be due October/November.

  1. Start a spreadsheet listing your colleges and all pertinent due dates (don’t forget the deadline for applying to the colleges themselves).
  2. Look for material now. Run the material past Mr. Paris or a trusted coach to determine if the material is a good fit for you. This is NOT the time to stretch yourself. Find material that is a comfortable fit. See the documents for other DO’s and Dont’s.
  3. Get all of your application material ready now. Transcripts and recommendation letters can take some time. If you are asking Mr. Paris for a rec., ask early and send your requests to sean.paris@hcps.net .
  4. Join the Band subgroup for College Auditions (message Mr. Paris)
