Ensembles in the Bailey School of Music are open to all KSU students of any major. Some ensembles-the Symphony Orchestra, Wind Ensemble, and Wind Symphony-require an audition to participate. (Note: students enrolled in applied lessons are required to perform a large instrumental ensemble audition and enroll in a large instrumental ensemble.)

Auditions for incoming and current students will be held in person Tuesday-Thursday, August 6-8, 2024 at the Bailey School of Music. If you are unable to audition in person at the scheduled time, you may request approval in advance from your applied teacher, applied area coordinator, or ensemble director to submit a video audition, due by August 6.
