On approximately May 15th you will receive communication about your status.

You will receive information about fees in September.

What should I wear for the audition, either in person or in a video?

It is important you wear athletic clothes and cross-training athletic shoes for all RCC auditions.

What kinds of things are you looking for with my audition?

We look for all of the basic things... quality of technique, timing, feel, how well you listen, your ability to control articulation, and your overall awareness. Outside of your musical talents, we also look at your personality, work ethic, and ability to respond to corrective criticism, as these are just as important when push comes to shove in the heat of the season!

Who do I contact if I have any issues with registration or other questions not provided here?

Please email Rick Barclay for battery questions and Brian Dinkel for front ensemble questions.
