Band Camp FAQ


  • What does my audition include?

    Three big words – Music, Marching and Attitude. In broad terms, we expect you to perform the best you can (play well, drum well, spin well), march well (left foot, right foot, posture, carriage, etc.), and be a happy, positive person!

  • How many people make the band?

    In order to present a well-balanced musical and visual presentation, we have a set instrumentation. Our typical goal is: 36 piccolos, 36 clarinets, 36 saxes, 63 trumpets, 27 horns, 36 trombones, 14 baritones, 22 tubas, 35 percussion, 36 flags, 1-3 feature twirlers, and 8-12 managers.

  • Who determines who makes the band?

    Student leaders, with the guidance of the staff, make the decisions based (primarily) on music, marching, and attitude (see a trend here???)

  • What if I don’t make it?

    1.) Talk to Dave about being a band manager AFTER the auditions.
    2.) Come play in Campus Band.
    3.) Register to re-audition next year – many folks have auditioned multiple times to make the MVs!
