ALL OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS FOR FALL 2024 AND IS FOR REFERENCE PURPOSES ONLY. PLEASE CHECK BACK SUMMER 2025 FOR NEXT YEAR’S AUDITION INFORMATION.
The entire week of band camp is part of the audition process. Registering for band camp is does not guarantee placement in the “All-American” Marching Band. You must attend band camp to be offered membership.
Selections are made on the Friday of band camp, at which point students who are not selected are strongly encouraged to transition to one of our fantastic indoor ensembles.
If you are only auditioning for Marching Band (attending Band Camp) you are not required to submit an indoor ensemble audition. However, if you plan to perform in marching band and an additional indoor ensemble (concert or jazz), you should still complete the requisite indoor audition.
The Applied Music Studies program offers students private lessons on piano, guitar, and chamber music. Instructors are professional musicians from the region. Lessons are scheduled on a semester basis. Various lesson packages are offered on a non-credit basis with a special lab fee based on the number of lessons scheduled.
Students who play at an advanced level and are interested in receiving 1 hour of academic credit may audition and then register for BAND 12000. Students receiving credit must complete a jury/recital at the end of this semester.
Have lots of questions? Unsure if Purdue is for you?
