MAVERICK SOUND: 2024 SCHEDULE
🎵 Monday, January 22: 6:00-8:00 PM - MPAC 005/006
FULL BAND REHEARSAL and
OPEN CALL RHYTHM SECTION AUDITIONS for bass, guitar, keyboard, and drums.
For the rhythm section auditions (bass, guitar, keyboard, drums): interested players will be asked to rotate to demonstrate their ability for different styles of music. Results will be posted/announced at the conclusion of the rehearsal. Please note - the rhythm section will be limited to a principal and an assistant for drums, keyboard, aux percussion, bass, and guitar.
Important Note: The single most important factor for this audition is ability to keep consistent time. The ideal Mav Sound rhythm section would be able to demonstrate rock, disco, funk, and march grooves, and moving from single time to half time without changing the tempo (as we do in Jam). However, most of the emphasis on the audition will be even flow of time.
Drummers - here is a helpful resource to widen your groove vocabulary.
