FAQs
Do I have to audition?
Yes, it is through your audition that scholarships are awarded.
How much time will it take?
The marching band is a family, so it takes time, but it is well worth it. We practice on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 4:00-6:00 p.m., then on Fridays we have an additional practice and sectionals to prepare for Saturday games.
What if I haven’t played my instrument in a long time?
Attitude and work ethic are more important in life and in music than when you began training. We have students who come from the best high schools in the country and others where band was not offered. If you are willing to work we can help you succeed.
Does the drum line really light their sticks on fire?
You bet.
And we do more! Wait till you see what the band does.
Does the band play at the home football games?
Yes.
Is there a band camp?
Yes. Marching band students will arrive on campus around the same time as the athletes (about a week or so before classes start) and will work with the orientation to ensure everyone can participate.
