CHARACTERS
     
SINGER/DANCER/MUSICIAN (18-25 Any )
Must be in the Undergraduate program or accepted to the program at Duquesne University. Dance: The dance portions of a Tamburitzans production are mainly folk and character styles. Ballet training is also desirable, as many of the choreographies which the Tamburitzans present also utilize ballet techniques. If at all possible, the auditionee's dance presentation should be oriented towards these dance types; however, a jazz, tap, or ballet presentation is a perfectly acceptable means of conveying the auditionee's abilities, and will by no means be given less consideration. It is recommended that a modern (interpretive or non-rhythmic) dance presentation be avoided. Vocal: Although the Tamburitzans show is based upon folk styles, the vocal presentation can be of any style or type - folk, pop, classical, etc. Even if your talent is strictly instrumental or strictly dance, it is recommended that your audition include a vocal presentation. If you do not include it, the judges may request that you sing something on the spot in order to determine your vocal abilities. If singing is not your specialty, then pick a song that you like and know fairly well ("Happy Birthday" would be fine). If your presentation is strictly vocal, please know that although it is certainly possible, the Tamburitzans rarely select an auditionee solely on the basis of his/her vocal talent. Instrumental: The Tamburitzans have a need for a wide variety of instrumentalists. The following is a list of the musical instruments commonly used in a Tamburitzans performance: 1. Tamburitza Family: Prim, Brac, Celo, Bugarija, Berde 2. Accordion: Piano, Button 3. Woodwinds/Reeds: Flute, Piccolo, Oboe, Clarinet, Saxophone (soprano) 4. Strings: Violin, Viola, Cello, Bass 5. Fretted: Guitar, Mandolin 6. Brass: Trumpet, Trombone, Tuba/Euphonium 7. Percussion: (limited) Snare, Various hand drums, Tupan (folk drum) 8. Other East European Folk Instruments: Kaval, Balalaika, Domra, Bandura, Panpipe (Nai), Frula, Cimbalom (hammered dulcimer), Gadulka, etc. 9. Keyboard If your instrumental specialty is not included on the list, still include it in your audition. For example, a piano performance will at least indicate an understanding of music and a level of musicality, but should be limited to a maximum of three minutes. The time limit for the audition is exactly 15 minutes. If your presentation exceeds this time limit, you will be asked to stop. On the other hand, if the total audition is less than 15 minutes, this is not a problem; the auditionee will not be given less consideration.
