Tryouts are one by one, a signup sheet should be posted for you to sign up for your times, about 15 min intervals. If you have to leave early, sign up for the first ones.

Oh. Dear. This is making me all very nervous. I was wondering... do you guys have time to meet on Monday? or maybe partly today? or sunday? I would really like to practice. Oh and by the way, where will the auditions be held and who will be there? Thanks.

On the L in the parking lot usually. You guys will wait in the cafeteria, with closed doors, with one of the band leaders there to make sure you guys don't fool around. Another band leader will walk the next person who is going to audition at the L.

And [if it's like last year] we'll have several judges watching your performance.
There will be a verbal & also a visual audition.

I do not believe any details about how it is run can be revealed, it's a "surprise" and it should be that way. Being unprepared and dealing with it is part of the Drum Majors job. Basically, you will be asked questions in front of a judge panel, and then you do your L, and that's that.

You need everything you need at an L-pattern. Besides the money :P, unless you're trying to bribe.

Hey. The code doesn't work!! :| oh well.

yes it does...this tag works but must of been changed when making the site. its is- [FONT="Arial" ] without the space at the end and [/FONT ] without the space at the end

so that means that everyone needs their OWN TAPE because for every "L" Pattern, my tape was used at least twice by other candidates.
so we bring everything to school on Wed. and are we allowed to store it in the Band room?

I was really confident when I was performing. I felt great after the audition, but I was very nervous during the inspection and questions.

yes, we were all nervous but got through it together.

HTML is easy, but the codes vary for every site :)

Due to security risks, we do not allow the use of HTML in messages (the softwaere is capable of doing it, but I have disabled it because of the risk factor).
Instead, you may use what's known as vB codes.
