We are excited to announce that Obsidian Winds is adding video auditions as an option for our upcoming season! This provides another opportunity to showcase your talent and become a part of our creative journey.

Video Auditions

Join Obsidian Winds Virtually!

  • Purchase the appropriate packet for the role you wish to audition for. Select “Video Audition” at the time of checkout.

  • Film your audition! The video should begin with a short introduction made up of your name and any relevant performance experience (HS Band, Indoor Drumline, Winterguard, Drum Corps, etc.).  Include any additional relevant information you see fit. We want to learn about you!

     Auditionees should perform the two audition excerpts found inside of the audition packet. This will be evaluated to provide appropriate feedback and possible invitation to rehearsal for final evaluation.

  • Upload your video to Youtube as an unlisted video. Send the link, along with your name, contact information, and a brief bio, to office@obsidianwinds.org

  • After submitting a staff member will contact you with the results from your submission. All videos will be evaluated by our staff and constructive feedback will be given, regardless of audition status.
