MARCHING ON

University of Tennessee Martin Marching Band Question?

I switched to a new high school for my senior year and i join marching band, I LOVE IT. i want to do it in college, im attending this fall. but i really suck at my instruments (vibes, mallets) i don’t care if i have to play accessories, i want to be in marching band. if i email the percussion director or the band director in general, and ask her to let me audition for accessories (usually they audition for mallet but i suck really bad, not nearly as good as they want me for those instruments.) do you think she will let me?

Most of those people in the “pit” are percussion majors. You will have to audition on mallets like the rest. If they find you have no skills or are not up to par with the rest they will most likely move you to another section. Also, those accessories can take years to get proficient at. You have to be decent at something especially if you are not a music major. They don’t just let anyone in. The one option I would suggest is cymbals. This is usually a job most do not want and most do not have any skills at. If you talk to the percussion director tell him you were in your high school percussion section and would love to play cymbals for him. I’m sure he will give you a look because most people never “volunteer” (no pun intended) for this position. Good luck!
