This document provides a preparation and performance guide for aspiring military band saxophonists to aid them in their preparation of the ten most requested excerpts for the premier military bands of the United States from auditions that occurred between 2003 and 2023. Despite being a popular career path for saxophonists, no such document like this exists to help saxophonists in their audition preparation. This document was inspired by a common misconception that only “perfect” auditions win these types of positions, which is not accurate. Inspired by The Richtmeyer Method for Saxophone Mastery, this project aims to help prospective auditionees discover the deeper artistry needed to win one of these positions. A chapter establishing how to practice and internalize the frameworks and fermata practice strategy seen in each excerpt using common scales and patterns is included along with a chapter using Richtmeyer’s practice strategies for stylizing marches, which are the backbone of military music and used in many auditions. The discussion of each excerpt is divided into the following sections: History, Stylistic Considerations, Frameworks for Developing Style, Technical Challenges, Technical Exercises and Conclusion. Furthermore, this document includes an exploration of the lineage of the saxophone from the French military bands to the American military bands and includes a brief examination of the current state of the ten premier bands and their respective roles in military music in the United States.
