Hi there, thanks for your question.

I believe that auditions can be taken either side of the assessment centre, depending on how the scheduling works out. However, I'd advise filling in the contact form here and one of the team will be able to get back to you with more specific advice: forms.gle/hth5FLA9hD43HXYz7.

You can also have a look at the audition criteria here: https://apply.army.mod.uk/roles/corps-of-army-music/musician

In the meantime you can check out more about Army Music at our website here: https://www.army.mod.uk/who-we-are/corps-regiments-and-units/royal-corps-of-army-music/ or Facebook page here: www.facebook.com/Royalcorpsofarmymusic.

All the best with your application!
