Non-MGSA Students that are interested in performing in our highest level ensembles, must follow the same procedures as the MGSA Music Students. You would sign up for an audition slot, prepare the audition packet in its entirety, and perform a blind audition. If you have any questions, please email Christopher Delgado (cdelgado@mgsa.rutgers.edu). All information is found
here.
