LSU Tiger Band Drumline

The LSU Tiger Band Drumline is comprised of approximately 30 members which include the following instruments: 8-10 snare drums, 4-6 tenors, 6 bass drums, and 8-10 cymbals. Drumline auditions are held in August two days before the start of the preseason band camp. This camp is generally held one week before the beginning of the fall semester. Returning members must reaudition each year for the line. In addition to rehearsing with the Tiger Band, the Drumline rehearses on Monday evenings and Saturday mornings of game days. Those interested in more information about the LSU Drumline can email this year's returning Drumline Captain, Drew Smith.

The 2010 Tiger Band Drumline audition date will be in August 2010. We will offer (non-mandetory) workshops for interested students over the summer. These workshops will be held in the LSU Band Hall (behind the Greek Theater).

Unlike wind players who are interested in Tiger Band, percussionists do not need to schedule an individual appointment to play for the Band staff before the August audition date. (You can if you would like to, especially if you're interested in any comments on your playing.) We're asking all interested Drumline applicants to register for our Tiger Band Preseason Band Camp which begins after the audition process. Those selected for the LSU Drumline immediately begin band camp. You'll find band camp registration information in the Drumline Audition Handbook.

A Drumline handbook of audition music and exercises is mailed inJune to all interested applicants. You can view the 2009 Drumline Audition Handbook here.
