Application
Shortly after the submission deadline,
the Band's Director, and members of the OMTAAMB committee
will review the vacancies in the band (spots of people who have elected not to return, or did not return
their renewal applications). Then, invitations to audition are mailed to
applicants who may fill the vacant spots . The primary factors for inviting new members
to audition
are based on instruments needed and experience.
For auxiliary units, audition invites are given based on section vacancies and
applicant experience.
