Matt,

I'm not sure if my message sent, so I'll post it here.

"Hey Matt,

You can click on this link http://www.bands.af.mil/careers/ and go to the right column and click on "audio engineer."

That will outline the basic requirements.

The audition flyer should be up soon and I'll put you in contact with our auditions rep.

You'll need a resume, some reference recordings (studio or live) and you will conduct a phone interview.

Eventually, we will invite our most qualified candidates where we will conduct a live interview and audition sometime in March.

If you win the audition, only then will you need to contact a recruiter and start the enlistment processes.

Feel free to ask me any more questions you have.

I'm happy to take more about our job, equipment, touring area, daily life, AF life, etc...

-Josh"

 
Re: U.S. Air Force Band of the West Audio Engineer opening

What does an audition for a sound engineer position in the Air Force entail?

Do you have to like, set up a whole close miced pops orchestra in 45 minutes or less? Then mix the show and you are graded on how well you mix?

Is it more of a hands on interview where you have to identify obscure and antiquated pieces of audio equipment history?

Once you get the job, do you wear a pair of microphones on your collar instead of wings?

If you salute it and it doesn't respond, kiss it. Audition passed.
