Bass Trombone Mock Audition Lists

 

To help yourself prepare an orchestral audition, here are some random lists. In preparation for auditions, it's best not to second-guess the committee. Take the complete list of requested excerpts and randomly assign them as we did below.. With no specific audition on the horizon, it would be good to do one of the random lists below each and every day. Then you are sure to be well-prepared for anything!
