Teachers, encourage your students to audition!! This is a great opportunity to play music as your summer job and perhaps even earn college credit [there are daily clinics and workshops with artists and professionals from many sectors of the music and entertainment world]. It is a great experience as anyone who has been in the band will tell you. I highly encourage all college age students to audition for this group!!!! Below is the Disney audition tour itinerary and a FAQ. Good luck and please direct any further questions you may have to Lori Cook [her contact info is at the bottom of the FAQ]. Best wishes, Alex PS Please feel free to forward this to anyone you know who might be interested. ============================================== ALL AMERICAN COLLEGE BAND DISNEYLAND RESORT ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA 2004 Audition Tour Dates and Locations New York City, NY Saturday, Jan. 24 IAJE Convention Sheraton, New York 7th Ave & 52nd St Boston, MA Saturday, Feb. 7 Berklee College of Music Genko Uchida Bldg 921 Boylston St. Pittsburgh, PA Sunday, Feb. 8 Duquesne University Music Building 600 Forbes Ave. Atlanta, GA Saturday, Feb. 14 Clayton College (Morrow) Music Department South of Atlanta off I-75 Dallas, TX Sunday, Feb. 15 University of North Texas (Denton) Music Bldg (#5) Commons Area 415 Avenue C Evanston, IL Saturday, Feb. 21 Northwestern University Regenstein Hall 1965 South Campus Drive Chicago, IL Sunday, Feb 22 VanderCook College of Music Music Building 3140 S.

ALL AMERICAN COLLEGE BAND FAQ Disneyland Resort Frequently asked questions regarding auditions for the All American College Band Program 1. What do I prepare? Three different styles of music. These should show off what you do best. You have 5-10 minutes to ãWOWä the adjudicator. Keep in mind that we are staffing a Marching/Show Band. Prepare jazz, rock, big band or classical styles. Improv using a CD is fine. Classical jury pieces are acceptable as well. Remember that this is an audition, not a jury, so you will not play through all of the prepared selections. We will provide a drum-set, percussion, amps and piano at the audition. 2. What is a profile? A resumeâ basically. The adjudicator will talk with you and ask questions. Just be yourself. Be up, positive, confident, etc. 3.Do I need to bring a photo? Yes, but we will also take a photo of you the day of the audition. 4. How do I sign up? Sign ups are done on the day of audition on a first come, first served basis. 5. What do I wear? Remember that you are auditioning for a job, dress appropriately. Appearance does make a difference. You want to make a positive first impression. 6. Do I need an accompanist? No. Our auditions are informal and personal. 7.What is the pay? If you are selected, the pay is approximately $375/week before taxes. We also provide housing, based on four students in a fully furnished two-bedroom apartment. 8.Do I need to bring a car? We provide daily transportation to and from work. It is up to the individual to provide transportation to and from the Anaheim area. We recommend you bring your own vehicle for personal use on time off. 9.When would I start? The program dates are June 1 until August 14, 2004 at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, CA. At this time there is not a college band program at Walt Disney World. 10. What do I wear at work? We provide an entire costume including shoes. Come to work in comfortable attire. Shorts and sun dresses are acceptable. 11. If I canât make one of the audition stops can I send in a video? Yes. If at all possible try to make it to the audition site, it is in your best interest. We would need to receive a video-taped audition by Feb. 25. Tell us about yourself, what you have done, with whom you have studied, where you go to school, and play three different styles of music. This should be about 10 minutes in length. Include your resumeâ, name, address, phone number, and email address so that we can contact you.

I've always thought that "railroad tracks" were called a caesura, but both the Harvard Dictionary and the Grove Dictionary call a caesura (basically) a momentary pause often indicated by a comma above the staff (no mention of parallel slashes), then they both refer the reader to Luftpause, which is a breathing pause. However the definition of caesura given by the Virginia Tech Multimedia Music Dictionary (and a couple of other on line dictionaries) includes the fact that it is commonly called railroad tracks. I guess common usage has changed.

But in a pit or on a stage with only a small stand light, the big railroad tracks are definitely easier to spot, and you know it marks a "stopping" point.
