EVERYONE must submit a placement audition, even if you have attended MWROC previously.

This is to ensure that you are placed in the performance ensembles that will best optimize your talents and, for our returning campers especially, we want to see how much you’ve grown in the past year!

Our Beatles Orchestra is geared towards intermediate players; our Zeppelin Orchestra is for advanced players.

Placement auditions must be received no later than June 17.

If you are a new registrant who registers after the due date or if you need an extension, please contact us.

VERY IMPORTANT – IF YOU DO NOT SUBMIT YOUR PLACEMENT AUDITION BY THE DUE DATE:

  • All first-time campers will be automatically placed in the Beatles Orchestra.
  • If you attended MWROC previously, you will be placed in the orchestra you were in the last time you attended.

For all string players (acoustic and electric), your audition should consist of the following TWO requirements (see links below):

  1. As many of the posted pieces that you’d like to play – excerpts are fine. We require at least one. However, if you consider the rest of them “too easy” or “too hard” for your current playing level, you don’t have to play them. Just pick the one you can do best.
    • INTERMEDIATE PLAYERS: Born to Be Wild, Supermassive Black Hole
    • ADVANCED PLAYERS: Bach to Rock, Fireball
  2. One to two minutes of your best playing on whatever music you choose. You may choose to perform rock, classical, or any genre in between. You also may want to perform your own original composition or improvisation. Anything you want – we just want to hear you!

For all vocalists, guitarists, electric bass players, drummers, etc.:

  • One verse and one chorus of your favorite song (video only, please), showcasing your abilities at your absolute best! Since there are limited spots in each of our orchestras for vocalists, guitarists, electric bass players, etc., this audition is very important!
  • Vocalists are requested to submit a rock ballad AND a rock fast tempo song.
