We used to provide a packet of sightreading examples for lab band auditions, but no longer do so. This practice originated before there was a world wide web.

There is a lot of sightreading material available online in the form of solo transcriptions. The music library is a source for solo transcriptions and etudes. We know that lab band parts may not exactly resemble solo transcriptions or etudes, but both can enable you to practice your sightreading skills.
