<div>Dear NCBCDA Directors,</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>The updated 2018 Audition material is now posted on our website at <a href="http://www.ncbcda.com">http://www.ncbcda.com</a> . It has been updated with the Piccolo, Bass Trombone, and Mallet Percussion excerpts.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please take the time to read the cover page of the audition material, as it gives specific instructions on how to audition as a percussionist and/or a mallet specialist.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Some directors have noted that there are some minor differences in between the CMEA Capitol Section audition excerpts and the NCBCDA excerpts. I anticipate that the board will approve for all Cap section recordings to be accepted for NCBCDA auditions,
regardless of minor differences in posted excerpts. Stay tuned for a definitive update on this.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For your convenience, I have also attached the audition material to this email as a PDF.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As always, feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I hope you all enjoy your summer!<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Musically Yours,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Erica Bergeron</div>
