Complete audition requirement checklist

Use this checklist with the current Crossmen packet. Requirements may differ by brass, battery, front ensemble, color guard, dance, conducting, or other caption.

  • Confirm minimum and maximum age, age-out date, and any program-specific eligibility rules.
  • Choose the exact caption and instrument; check prerequisites, available positions, and required experience.
  • Register by the deadline and obtain every required audition packet, exercise, excerpt, and learning track.
  • Follow the packet’s preparation instructions: tempo, memorization, warm-up, technique, movement, and performance expectations.
  • Confirm audition format, location, schedule, required camps, callback process, and attendance expectations.
  • For video auditions, follow the exact framing, audio, take, file-format, filename, upload, and submission deadline rules.
  • Ask about audition, packet, camp, and callback fees; determine which fees apply to tuition and which are nonrefundable.
  • Before accepting a position, review the membership agreement, full season dues, payment dates, travel, housing, meals, equipment, uniform, and refund terms.
  • Complete required medical, emergency-contact, guardian-consent, conduct, safety, and travel forms.
