Color Guard + Percussion Clinics/Auditions Color Guard
Percussion Percussion Auditions are open to any current 9th-11th musician signed up for band for the 2023-2024 school year. Realize that by choosing to audition, you are also signing yourself up for all required summer rehearsals that percussionists attend as well as school year rehearsals and events. Our percussion section can make or break our marching show; do not make this decision lightly. If you audition into marching percussion, you cannot take back this audition - you are committing to a full marching band season of percussion. You will return to your instrument after marching season is over.
