If needed, we schedule extra practices Friday nights after 6pm. Game day practices generally start five hours before kick-off. Two hours before kick-off, the band performs at Tailgreat at the Bryce Jordan Center. The night before the last home game, the Blue Band holds at performance in Eisenhower Auditorium called Bandorama. The band plays the music from each of that season's half-time shows and the silks, majorettes, and feature twirler take turns performing on the stage.
Auditions begin each year on Freshman Move-In Day.
Prospective silks will learn a portion of our pregame show and a routine we will use in an upcoming half-time show. Prospectives are judged on how well they perform, how quickly they memorized the routines, and their attitudes. The clinic isn't an actual try-out but an informal way for people who are interested in trying out to see what we do by learning a routine and meeting our instructors and members.
