Open Audition for New Band Members

We’re holding open auditions for new bands on 11/15, 11/16, and 11/22! Click here to sign up to audition.

What should I prepare?

Please prepare one song on each instrument you’d like to play in a band. For example, if you want to play guitar in a band, please prepare one song on guitar that demonstrates your skills. If you’re interested in switching between guitar and/or drums, please prepare one song on guitar and one song on drums.

Who will be at the audition?

Auditions are held privately, one student at a time. Mr. Smith and Jess will both be there to listen to your audition song(s) and talk to you about your musical interests. Parents are always welcome to sit in on auditions, but that is optional.

Where are the auditions held?

Auditions are held at the Carriage House studio at 612 Pughtown Road, Spring City (3 mins from OJR High School).

When will I find out the results of my audition?

We will be in touch after the final audition day, 11/22. Please note that band member placement is contingent on if we are able to make great band member matches for you. It is of utmost importance to us to put bands together who enjoy working together, share musical interests and goals, and are aligned in their musical skill level. If we can’t find the right fit for you this time, you will be added to the band-member-waiting-list. If you are on our waiting list, we will contact you when an opportunity arises that we feel is a good fit for you!

How long are rehearsals & What is the tuition cost?

Band rehearsals are typically 60 minutes and tuition during the school year is pay-as-you-go. Tuition for a 60 minute rehearsal is $25 per student. You will receive you a monthly invoice via email as rehearsal(s) are completed.

Questions? Please email Jess at info@earthsongmusic.org

About Earth Song Student Bands

Since 2019, we’ve been putting together bands with students who have compatible age, musical skill level, personality, and musical interests. Our awesome band director, Mr. Smith, works with all the bands to rehearse on a regular basis, put together great set lists, create musical arrangements that fit the band, prepare for gigs, learn how to work as a creative team, cultivate a band brand, write original music, record in the studio, and more!

Jess Smith is the band coordinator who coordinates all the rehearsal scheduling and books gigs at local venues & events. She makes rehearsal and gig scheduling super easy and convenient for all the band families!

Bands also get to work with our super talented event photographer, Dylan Eddinger, and sound engineer wizard Zach Washko.
