IF you are asked to play something that you haven’t prepared, then do your best. The staff is more interested in seeing how quickly you learn, musical aptitude and most importantly, your ATTITUDE towards trying another instrument. • Students auditioning on should prepare multiple parts (#1-5). • players should pick one of the split parts marked as A and B in the parts.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

CONFIDENCE: HAVE FUN! Relax and be confident in what you bring to the table, as every individual has unique traits to his or her personalities and playing styles. Feel good when you play, and it will feel good to the listener. True confidence is a very important thing, and will help tremendously when fitting into the line. PREPARATION: Preparation refers to how much and how well you practice. It also refers to Your preparation will determine how CONFIDENT you are when you perform.

TEAMWORK / COLLEGIALITY: A team player is someone who is not only willing, but eager to do what is best for the group. Team players embrace their role, regardless of what section they make, and they put their interests of the marching band and drumline ahead of their own.

MUSICALITY: More than anything else, music is what we strive for. Attention to style, dynamics and articulations are key to a quality performance and the icing on the cake!

TECHNIQUE: We utilize a RELAXED, REBOUNDED philosophy of technique which produces a quality sound at all levels, speed, endurance and playing philosophies that transcend the activity of marching percussion (TRANSFER VALUE).

TIMING: Tempo and rhythmic integrity is a critical aspect of what we do. Know your rudiments, as they are rhythms. Work practice habits with a metronome. Practice at tempos your hands can manage. Gradually increase tempos.

CHOPS: Chops are a very important part of what we do, and play a key role in keeping up with the fast paced learning environment. Technical strength and proficiency are the basic building blocks of your contribution to the ensemble. The term ‘chops’ does not mean being able to play every stick trick and backstick in the book; though these are enjoyable things, they are not the basis of music-making. Be strong in the basics of rudiments and stickings at a wide variety of tempos. Chops are not created within a day or a week; it takes time to build up your hands.

MEMORIZATION: Memorization demonstrates attitude and confidence. It shows that a person is dedicated to being a part of the drumline and has thoroughly prepared.
