Hello Everyone!

I hope that you are all well and are enjoying your semester!

In order to get the lines set in time to start pre-game drill as soon as possible during camp, we have decided to do the music auditions virtually again this year. If you play a woodwind or brass instrument, you will need to submit an audition video. The video audition submission due date is July 1st, 2025. All marching/visual auditions will take place at camp. Your music audition (video) score will be combined with your marching/visual audition score to give you a final audition score. Concert band auditions will still remain at the end of band camp.

If you need to check out an instrument (mellophone, baritone, euphonium, 20J) to complete your video, please contact one of the graduate teaching assistants through their emails found on the “Leadership Staff” tab of the Band Camp page.

Remember, in order to be considered for a spot with the 2025 Marching Southerners, you must submit your audition video by the deadline (July 1st). If you would like to submit it before then, that is perfectly fine!

Again, If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at kenbodiford@jsu.edu. I can’t wait to get everyone on campus for band camp and get this season started. 

Have a great semester and summer, be safe, and register for band camp today! 

Blow Southerners!
