FALCON NOTES Audition: The very word strikes angst and fear in the hearts of many. Miriam Webster Defines Audition as: 2: the act of hearing; especially : a critical hearing <an audition of new recordings> 3: a trial performance to appraise an entertainer's merits Over 86 students have signed up to audition for either Jazz Band and Symphony Orchestra for next year. This doesn't include the 51 students currently enrolled in both classes who have already re-auditioned. By the end of tomorrow, I will have listened to about 137 students. As hard as it is to evaluated individuals based on one audition, it's even harder to gather the nerve to actually audition. I applaud everyone who had the courage to seek out a piece, get help, and audition. Even if students don't achieve their desired result, they have grown tremendously just by going through the audition process. Good luck!
