Written By Mike Scott

It's that time again! Each year we hold audition clinics - open to the public - for anyone regardless of age or playing ability. If you want to be a part of the Rhythm X cast then this is your chance! If you're just looking to learn from our incredible staff then you're welcome too! 

There are two exciting changes to this year's clinics. First, our new project The X Academy is taking over! From now on, all clinic events will be hosted by The X Academy, our new educational wing. Secondly, we're adding winds! We're looking for the best wind players in the activity to be a part of the inaugural season of WGI Winds. If you are a wind player we want to see you at the X15 Audition Clinics!

The clinics will be held on two Sundays: October 12th and 19th at Sycamore High School in Cincinnati, Ohio. The clinics start at 10 AM and check-in begins at 9 AM. 

 

You can register for the clinics at rhythmx.org/audition and most of your questions are answered on the FAQs page. Other questions? Just email us at join@rhythmx.org.

Whether you're going or not, join in on the hype! Our Facebook Cover Photo and a poster are below. You can download the PDF of the poster here.
