(2) Call the Band Department at 225/578-2384 to schedule an audition.
(3) Schedule before July 1st to audition for Tiger Band and/or the concert ensemble program.
(4) Audition Requirements: chromatic scale, a few major scales, prepared piece (solo, etude, honor band audition material, etc.). You do not need a pianist. Percussionists interested only in Tiger Band do not need to audition at this time. A separate audition will be held in August for the Tiger Band Drumline.

Note: Incoming Music Majors who have been accepted into a studio do not need to audition for the Band Department, unless you play a different instrument from your major instrument for marching band. Music Majors are automatically invited to Tiger Band Preseason Band Camp (usually the week before the fall semester classes begin).
