Ohio Christian University Band and Orchestra
The Ohio Christian University Band and Orchestra allows students to grow in their skill with their instrument and gain performance experience through various events.
- Scales: 2 major scales, 1 relative minor and the chromatic scale. First scale is your choice, others are assigned during audition
- Solo Repertoire: Two contrasting selections solo literature (separate pieces or varied movements), etudes, and/or honor band audition music to demonstrate lyrical skills and technical facility
- Sight Reading: A short sight-reading piece will be provided
Involvement expectations vary per semester at the director’s discretion. Minimal expectations include weekly rehearsals and performing at a select number of performance events.
The maximum amount that can be awarded based on a student’s band/orchestra audition is $3,000/year. Please keep in mind this is a talent-based audition, and the awarded amount is up to the director’s discretion. Students may have the opportunity to increase this amount as a current student in their sophomore, junior or senior year.
Please keep in mind that all performing arts scholarships (drama, band/orchestra, and choir) when paired together increase the total maximum award amount to $4,000/renewable. For example, a student equally gifted in choir and band may receive $2,000 from choir and $2,000 from band resulting in a $4,000 renewable performing arts award.
The student’s band/orchestra scholarship is dependent on their ability to participate and meet expectations. Scholarship amounts may be adjusted if expectations are not met.
