Instrumental Non-Music Majors
Symphony Band/Symphonic Winds rehearsals will not begin until 9/12 at 7:30pm
ALL NON-MGSA MUSIC STUDENTS WILL HAVE TO SHOW PROOF OF VACCINATION BEFORE PERMITTED TO AUDITION. Due to current university policies, students with vaccine exemptions will not be able to audition on woodwind or brass instruments or participate in ensembles performing on these instruments.
Non Music Majors that are interested in performing in our highest level ensembles, must follow the same procedures as the Music Majors. 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.
The information below will have you considered for Symphonic Winds & Symphony Band.
