200 musicians auditioned; 89-member band selected for 2025 season
Summary
Don Cavalli said 200 musicians auditioned in 2025 resulting in an 89-member band plus substitutes; the minimum passing audition score for new members is 60 and members earn tenure after two successful years.
Don Cavalli explained the band’s selection process: a March survey invites previous members to participate, blind auditions (tryouts) take place in early May, and returning members audition annually for seating. "In 2025, 200 musicians auditioned which resulted in an 89—member band plus subs," the minutes state.
The minutes record that the minimum "passing" audition score for new members is 60 and that after two years of successful auditions and attending seven of nine rehearsals and concerts each summer, members are tenured. These rules and the large audition pool were presented as part of the commission’s regular membership report.
