PERCUSSION 2025 SPRING PLACEMENT AUDITION INFORMATION

Welcome to the Percussion Section for the 2025 Season! We are so glad to have you joining us!

AUDITION DATE AND PROCEDURE

Percussion Placement Auditions are used to ensure each member of the group is placed in a position to be successful and contribute meaningfully to the needs of the group.
There are no cuts in our marching band program. Students will earn a place either in the field percussion section or the sideline percussion section based upon the results of the tryout, their previous service to the organization, and the needs of the current year's field show.

Auditions will be completed this spring by submitting your best video recording of the audition materials to the assignment located on our Schoology Page. 

Materials are available in Schoology and on this page. After the audition deadline has passed, materials will only be available on Schoology.

AUDITIONS ARE DUE IN SCHOOLOGY ON OR BEFORE SATURDAY, APRIL 26, 2025 at 11:59 PM
