Panther Marching Band Audition Information
Wind Part Placement Hearings
There are no auditions required for membership in the wind sections of the Panther Marching Band. However we do require a part placement hearing. This allows us to hear all prospective members and allows us to assign parts for Pre-Game and the half-time shows during Pre-Season Camp. It also allows for you to meet our staff and ask any questions you may have about the Panther Marching Band. Students who have marched a year or more with the PMB or who have auditioned for and have been accepted into the Department of Music do not need to complete the part placement hearing. All students planning on marching with the PMB must complete the online forms located HERE. Part placement hearings for woodwind and brass players will take place during Pre-Season Camp.
If you have questions, please read our FAQs or email R. Alan Sullivan, Interim Director of Bands & Director of the Panther Marching Band & Basketball Bands, for more information.
