AUDITION EVALUATIONS
All auditions will be evaluated by three out-of-state artists.
One of the evaluators will be the clinician for the ensemble and the other two will be determined once all auditions have been submitted. This ensures that the committee includes individuals with the appropriate expertise to evaluate the submissions.
