The audition process for the fall drumline occurs Sunday and Monday of band camp, one week prior to the first day of classes. There is currently no individual audition. Auditions consist of members playing their instrument of choice while the instructor moves people around - between sections and within sections - to provide the best sound for the line and the best fit for the player.
Things to know before you get to auditions:
- A GREAT attitude
- All 40 of the PAS Rudiments
- Some knowledge of the "21st Century Hybrid Rudiments" is desirable
- Audition packet, posted here during the prior semester
- A GREAT attitude
- Sight reading skills - a new show is learned for each game
- Memorization skills – each show must be memorized
- A GREAT attitude
- Must be a team player
- EVERYONE must learn the snare parts AS WELL AS the part that they would like to play on the drumline. (i.e. Cymbals and Snare, Bass and Snare, Tenor and Snare.)
