All students that wish to join an ensemble must audition. Students are placed in an ensemble that suits their playing ability based on their audition. Everyone must audition every semester. While there is nothing stopping you from participating in multiple ensembles, strongly consider the rest of your classes and whether or not you will be able to manage the time commitment.

If you are auditioning for Marching Band (attending Band Camp) you are not required to submit an indoor ensemble audition.

When you are placed into an ensemble you must register for the corresponding class within the first week of classes.

Please see below for specific audition details for the groups you are interested in.

All Purdue pep bands are extra-curricular ensembles. In order to be considered for membership in a pep band, you must be enrolled in a curricular ensemble (concert band, orchestra, jazz band), auxiliary unit class, or applied music studies.
