• If for some reason you are unable to make the first audition camp, brass and percussion players may attend the next camp to audition for any remaining open positions. Conductors must audition in November. Guard members should email us if they cannot make the color guard audition camp.

You will be seen, heard, and receive instruction from some of the best instructors in the country. You will also receive a copy of your audition worksheets with feedback from your instructors. This is a great tool for you whether or not you are offered a spot in the Regiment. You can use this information to improve your marching and playing abilities for future or other auditions. At the end of the weekend, we will notify you of your status.
