I don’t think there is a clear “right” or “wrong” answer to many of your questions. We just came back from FSU auditions and they told my D to simply state the name of her pieces. They also said she could do them in any order, songs or monologue first, etc. She has one CD (several copies) that has 4 tracks on it. Each song has a 16 and 32 bar cut accompaniment with a 2 or 4 bar intro. Since she is also doing several auditions with different requirements this CD will be used by all and she will just tell whomever is playing the CD (if not herself) which tracks to play when. She considered four different CD’s but we both felt that was even more complicated and time consuming to be changing CD’s. I have heard people using both CD’s and Ipod’s, both are fine. Perhaps IPod speakers are smaller, but I don’t think it matters. I am sure the adjudicators have seen everything…the most important thing is to relax and have fun and do what you do best…perform! The quality of the performance is what they will remember.
