Any student interested in auditioning for Drum Major should sign up in the band room as well as submit an application along with at least two letters of recommendation supporting your leadership capabilities.  One of these letters should be from an SHS faculty member (not a band staff member). 
 
DRUM MAJOR PRELIMS:   
Date: Tuesday, April 10th, 2018
Location: Bandroom
Time: 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Each candidate will conduct the same musical selection: JSU’s 1998 “Firebird”.  Scores, recordings and applications may be picked up at the band office. 
 
In addition to conducting, the staff and judging panel will review all applications and letters of recommendation and interview each candidate.
The top candidates will then progress to the FINAL round.
 
DRUM MAJOR FINALS:
Date: Wednesday, April 11th, 2018
Location: Bandroom
Time: 3:15 – 4:30pm
 
 
 
We are looking for a Drum Major who will lead by example and exemplify the positive attitude, work ethic, and spirit of The PRIDE.  A Drum Major is a musician, teacher, administrator, communicator, leader, performer, and friend.  Drum majors auditions will culminate in candidates conducting The PRIDE in the final round.
Candidates may choose to conduct one the following traditional pieces: SHS Fight Song, Alma Mater or Amazing Grace, as well as one selection from the 2017 show, “Rockstar.”  The PRIDE will then vote on the finalists and the outcome of the vote will play a role in the Staff’s decision of the final result.
 
 
 
 
Good Luck & Go PRIDE GO!!
