Marching Band Auditions

Marching Band auditions take place in the Spring prior to each Fall marching season. Should you be selected for membership, you will be required to attend Band Camp during the week prior to the beginning of Fall semester. Audition schedules and procedures vary depending on the section of the band (winds, percussion, colorguard). Detailed information regarding these particular auditions is available following submission of the INTENT TO AUDITION FORM.

If for some reason you do not receive this information and feel you should have, contact the Band Office. Please be considerate and patient, as we have many, many people audition each year.

Concert Band Auditions

Auditions for both Wind Symphony and Symphonic Band take place at the beginning of Fall semester. The auditions are conducted by the studio teachers on each instrument. Additional instructions are sent in early August to students whose forms express interest in these ensembles.

University Band is only offered during Winter semester (Jan-Apr), and no audition is required. However, limits are placed upon instrumentation. Students that wish to participate should register toward the end of Fall Semester.

Pep Band Auditions

Pep Band auditions are held in the middle of fall semester (mid-October) and are somewhat less formal. These live auditions are conducted by Pep Band director Fred McInnis.
