The preliminary rounds will be screened. Be prepared to play ANYTHING on the list at any time. If here is something on the list that you can't play at a very high level, do yourself and everyone else at the audition (including the other tubists, and especially, the committee) a favor and DON'T GO.

If you go, in order to do your best, you must have the mind set that you are there to win. In order to believe that you can win, you need to be able to play the entire list as well as it can be played by anyone. I once heard Warren Deck at a masterclass say that every piece on the list will be nailed by someone at the audition. In order to win, that's how well you must play all of the pieces on the list.

Sorry if this is somewhat heavy handed, but I felt it needed to be said. Hope you do well.
