BYU Color Guard Auditions

Registering to Audition

Please fill out the INTENT TO AUDITION FORM online to begin the audition process. More information regarding the details of auditions will then be sent to you. Further details about the audition registration process are on the Auditions page.

Audition Details

There are two ways to audition for the BYU Color Guard:

1. There is an in-person audition that takes place in April on the first university "reading day" during the winter semester finals schedule. The two-part audition begins with a clinic in the morning from 9am - 12pm to review techniques used at BYU for equipment and movement basics, as well for learning a short audition routine. The actual audition begins at 1pm.
   
   
2. For those out of the area or unable to attend the live April audition, there is video audition process. Applicants will be required to review the color guard technique videos posted on the BYU Bands website and submit a video (either in DVD or VHS format) to the band office demonstrating the same skills prior to July 15th.

Further details are available if you contact the Band Office.

Available Positions

We generally have approximately 25-30 members in the Color Guard, with the number of open positions varying from year to year.

Please return the Color Guard Audition form, indicating how you plan to audition. If you decide to audition by video, we will send you a reminder closer to the video submission deadline.
