Drumline Auditions and Rehearsals 2017

The drum line for Football Season will be set at our after school auditions on Monday, August 14. 
 

• You can audition for Snare, Quads, and Bass Drum.  We have a limited number of spots available!
• You must play the parts from the two cadences DNK and Hand Clap (available here). 
• If you will be playing football, there is NO NEED to audition for a spot.  But do not worry, there will be opportunities later in the year for you to play on the drumline (i.e., Christmas Parade, Spring Pep Rallies, etc.)
• Don’t forget recordings of the cadences are online at www.cmsmustangband.com/music.html

 
Once the drum line is set, rehearsals will be the following Mondays after school with Ms. Wilson:
August 21
August 28
September 11
September 18
September 25
October 2
(we may or may not need all of these dates, but please block them off)
 
***Auditions and Rehearsals last until 3:45 p.m.  Please pick up no later than 4:00 in the back parking lot by the band room.***  Talk with Ms. Codina if transportation is an issue and we will try to find a solution.
 
If you want to be able to play Snare, Quads, or Bass Drum at the Football Games, you must audition and attend after school rehearsals.  This is the ONLY way we can combine all the drummers from 7th and 8th grade.  We can be flexible if you need to miss one, but please check your calendar to make sure you can make these! 
 
SPECIAL NOTE:  The first two games September 7 and September 14 are Optional for 7th Grade on the Band Calendar but ARE NOT optional for those playing drumline!!

GOOD LUCK!
