I hope this email finds you well. My name is Ashley Evans, and I am the Auxiliary Coordinator for the Auburn University Marching Band. I am writing to extend an invitation to you and your students regarding our 2026 Tiger Eyes Auditions. Our auxiliaries include danceline, flagline, and majorettes, all under the full visual ensemble named Tiger Eyes. We would like to reach potential students who might be interested in auditioning and wanted to offer you the opportunity to pass along this information. For your convenience, I have attached a PDF file with the audition dates and website for audition details so that you can easily print and hang this information or pass it along to anyone who may be interested. The 2026 Tiger Eyes Auditions Auditions will be held at the following times, which are subject to change based on the number of applicants:
We will host our Audition Clinic this Saturday, February 14, at Goodwin Music Hall. Clinic times are as follows: Danceline 8-11am; Flagline 11:30am-2:30pm; Majorettes 3-6pm. Clinic is not required to audition but is encouraged because we’ll break down basic fundamentals, teach travel techniques, learn a short group routine, and go over logistics of audition day. The goal for Clinic is for them to feel prepared going into auditions. There is no registration required to attend Clinic. If you have a student who is interested in auditioning, they are welcome to email me at [email protected] should they have any questions. Our deadline for audition applications, paperwork, and fees is March 27, 2026. This includes a character evaluation submitted on their behalf from their band director. That request is sent to the director from our system once their application is submitted. Because of this, we encourage students to submit their applications as soon as they can in order to allow adequate time for their director to submit a character evaluation on the student's behalf. Additionally, our solo portion of auditions is open to the public, so we invite everyone to join us for that portion to view this year's candidate solos! Updated information and more details on the audition guidelines, format, attire, solo times, and more can be found here: http://aub.ie/TEauditions Thank you for your time, and I hope this information is of interest to you. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me! Sincerely, Ashley Evans Auxiliary Coordinator Auburn University Marching Band [email protected] band.auburn.edu
