2019 Drumline Auditions

It’s time once again to pull out those heavy-hitter pads and prepare for the next round of drumline auditions! This year’s auditions will take place on May 21st at 3:00pm in the band room. The audition music is as follows:

  • Para-diddle-dise
  • Spartan Funk
  • Possible Sight Reading Piece

Sheet music is available at https://music.spartandrumline.com.

As with any other year, every spot on the line is up for grabs, so practice, practice, practice! You may audition for as many spots as you’d like. For bass drum, try your best to learn all 4 parts.

We also plan to hold audition “camps” the week before auditions, just like last year (more to come on that soon). If you would like one-on-one lesson time, please let Mr. Croach or Mr. Johnson know.

Good luck!
