Should the student already have white marching shoes they must get them approved by Dr. Tracz. There is also the option to purchase CD's, cassette tapes, and VHS cassettes at the end of the season. During marching band camp, each percussionist will audition. There are approximately 30 battery positions and approximately 10 pit positions available. Auditions for scholarships occur in February and March for the following school year.
Auditions are open to majors and non-majors.
