*CURRENT WIND SYMPHONY MEMBERS: The following sections must re-audition with everyone else (this is due in large part to personnel changes for student teaching, graduation, or for instrumentation needs throughout all three bands).

All other Wind Symphony sections are exempt from ensemble auditions for the Spring Semester, however the directors reserve the option to hold chair auditions at any point if needed.
