What to Wear for a Blind Audition

  1. You don't need to wear concert attire. The key words here is "blind". Your audience will not see you. However, it is recommended that you wear something at least a step up from jeans and a T shirt. At least show up fully clothed.
  2. Wear something that gets you into performance mode. If you need the full concert getup in order to perform well, please wear just that.
  3. Dress for your instrument. Don't wear anything that adds unnecessary complications to your playing. For example, a flutist should not wear something that is excessively restricting in the shoulder area due to the nature of the instrument.
  4. Wear outerwear if it is cold. You can--and should--be comfortable for a blind audition.
  5. Your outfit should make you feel confident. You need all the confidence you can during blind auditions.
And now, some selfies from my latest blind audition:
