1. Prepare two contrasting pieces or songs:
Instrumentalists: All-State tryout music or Solo and Ensemble repertoire is ideal, but anything that shows your ability is acceptable. You may also be asked to play some major scales and to sight read.
Vocalists: Prepare songs that would be performed at Solo and Ensemble, or other music from the standard vocal repertoire. You will also be asked to sight-sing a simple melody or hymn.

McMurry's Music Department offers a number of different scholarships, including departmental merit scholarships and several special endowed scholarships. Merit scholarships can be awarded to any student, regardless of his or her major, for participation in choir or band, and approximately half of the students currently involved in choir and band receive a merit scholarship. To compete for a merit award, students must audition for the music faculty. For endowed scholarships, students must both audition and meet other special requirements associated with each scholarship.
