Video Audition Application Process

Instrumental Ensemble - Video Audition Guidelines

  • Use any video capture device you are comfortable with. You are being evaluated on the quality of your performance, not the quality or resolution of your video.
  • Please submit one unedited video that includes the following
    • State your name, how many years you have played, and with what groups you have played. (do this at the beginning of the video).
    • 1-2 scales. A chromatic scale demonstrating your range is always nice, but not required.
    • A one-two minute selection of your choice that best demonstrates you sounding your best. Any style! (state the piece)
  • Please make sure you and your instrument can be seen on the video.
  • You may use a live or recorded accompaniment for your audition.
  • If you do not have access to accompaniment, then you may perform your audition without accompaniment.

Please submit all videos to Dr. Betancourt at dbetancourt@cerritos.edu with the subject heading: CC Ensemble Audition
