ATTENTION ALL MUSICIANS: Do you play a musical instrument and want to rock with The Rocket Summer on stage on the upcoming fall tour? If you play a unique musical instrument, meaning everything and in-between from the brass family (horns such as trumpets, tubas, trombone, euphoniums etc) to the woodwind family (Sax, Flute, Clarinet, Bassoon, Oboe, etc) to the string family (violin, viola, banjo, mandolin, ukulele) or even instruments such as bag pipe, the harmonica, the accordion and more… We are looking for someone in each individual city to rock the sax solo from the song SO MUCH LOVE with us on his or her instrument!!

When does it need to be submitted by? I'm excited! I hope there aren't too many entries for San Antonio and I win by default somehow. Playing the uncool instrument in band might finally pay off!

I know it says solo... but is it possibly allowed for 2 people to audition together? (do a duet)

Don't be discouraged so quickly, people have done some really unique things with only their voices. Maybe you can work something out.

And, Bryce, I don't like this theater venue for AZ. I don't think I could sit down during one of your shows, (though the acoustics are amazing at Rialto- I saw Andrew Bird there).

If you're ever gonna do this competition in the UK, say ;]

From the Heart (new DEMO up!)

 
holy crap this is like my dream come true! haha ive always wanted to play on stage with a guitar, but never my trumpet ha.  but the date you're coming to anaheim is the date of my marching band's championships. BUMMMMMERRRRRR

but i'll still audition for the hollywood date. can we do a duet or trio audition? my brother and my sister both play trumpet & trombone and i think that'd be super cool haha

If you were coming to UPSTATE NEW YORK, I'd totally play it on the bass clarinet.  But apparently, you only love NYC. :P
