Orchestras, you&#8217;ll get to continue your passion for music while pursuing your degree in a welcoming and inclusive environment. Study with internationally recognized faculty, play with musicians from around the world, and gain leadership experience that will set you apart from the crowd. Most ensembles meet 2-3 times per week and perform twice a semester &#8211; the perfect time commitment for any student who wishes to continue playing in college. Even the Purdue \u201cAll-American\u201d Marching Band, which meets M-F during the fall semester, is doable alongside your academics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>To join Purdue Bands &amp; Orchestras, you will audition for ensemble placement and register for your assigned ensemble. Everyone auditions every semester, which allows for personal growth and flexibility with internships\/co-ops. It is possible to participate in multiple ensembles, but you should strongly consider your course load, what else you might plan to get involved with on campus, and your own time management skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please reach out to our Manager of Recruitment &amp; Student Success, <a href=\"mailto:caitlin@purdue.edu\">Caitlin<\/a>, with any questions about auditions and getting involved.<\/p>\n\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"purdue-home-cta-card-block \">\n    <div class=\"section has-none-background\">\n        <div class=\"container\">\n            <div class=\"purdue-home-cta-card-block__container\">\n                <div class=\"purdue-home-cta-card-block__image-container\">\n                                        <div class=\"glide purdue-home-cta-card-block__image-slider\">\n                        <div class=\"glide__track\" data-glide-el=\"track\">\n                            <div class=\"glide__slides\">\n                                                                    <div class=\"glide__slide\">\n                                        <figure class=\"image\">\n                                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/bands\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC_8060-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n                                                                                    <\/figure>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"purdue-home-cta-card-block__content-container\">\n                                                                <h2 class=\"purdue-home-cta-card-block__header\">&#8220;All-American&#8221; Marching Band<\/h2>\n                                            \n\n<p>All students interested in auditioning for the Purdue &#8220;All-American&#8221; Marching Band must participate in Band Camp.<\/p>\n\n                                            <ul class=\"purdue-home-button-list\">\n                                                            <li class=\"purdue-home-button-wrap--full\"><a class=\"purdue-home-button\" href=\"band-camp\" target=\"_self\">Band Camp<\/a><\/li>\n                                                    <\/ul>\n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div  class=\"purdue-home-cta-card-block \">\n    <div class=\"section has-none-background\">\n        <div class=\"container\">\n            <div class=\"purdue-home-cta-card-block__container\">\n                <div class=\"purdue-home-cta-card-block__image-container\">\n                                        <div class=\"glide purdue-home-cta-card-block__image-slider\">\n                        <div class=\"glide__track\" data-glide-el=\"track\">\n                            <div class=\"glide__slides\">\n                                                                    <div class=\"glide__slide\">\n                                        <figure class=\"image\">\n                                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/bands\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC_7772-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n                                                                                    <\/figure>\n                                    <\/div>\n                                                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"purdue-home-cta-card-block__content-container\">\n                                                                <h2 class=\"purdue-home-cta-card-block__header\">Auxiliaries<\/h2>\n                                            \n\n<p>Our auxiliary units are a part of the Purdue &#8220;All-American&#8221; Marching Band, but are selected in advance of Band Camp.
