Paradigm will be hosting our first and second days of auditions on October 4th and 11th for anyone interested in marching with us to come and learn from our world class staff. All auditions will be a paid experience. The one time $95 payment will cover all audition dates, all packets, and an audition T-Shirt.

The third audition date, October 18th, will be a callback audition where a member of staff will invite you back to continue the audition process.

Visual Ensemble Auditionees: October 18th will be the first audition date for all visual ensemble auditionees, with a follow up audition on October 25th.

It is highly encouraged to attend every audition possible to ensure you retain as much information as you can and have the opportunity to improve audition to audition based on instructor feedback.

Packet: Remember to come to auditions with a thorough understanding of the packet, as well as a printed copy. Have an open mind towards change throughout the duration of the auditions, instructors will determine spots based on ability to change and adapt to critique, as well as musical and marching abilities.

Food: Meals will not be provided during auditions, so auditionees will need to either bring their food, or travel to nearby restaurants during meal breaks.

Instruments: If possible, auditionees should bring mallets / sticks with them to auditions, as well as a drum for themselves. We will do our best to ensure each auditionee has sticks, mallets, and instruments to participate on, but no guarantees can be made. Larger items such as keyboards, drum set, and auxiliary instruments will be provided for use.

Clothing: All Batterie and Visual Ensemble participants are encouraged to wear athletic clothing and close-toed shoes (no sandals, flip flops, crocks, etc)
