THE AUDITION PROCESS

Throughout all audition camps, you will be evaluated on various technical skills, overall musicianship, and the ability to move your feet and play at the same time. You can also expect to be evaluated by the visual faculty at some point during the audition process. In addition to music and marching skills, expect to be assessed with regard to your work ethic, attitude, and character.

Carolina Crown believes in developing skills for the future. We want to provide you with as much constructive information as possible so that you may continue to grow as a musician. Regardless of the fact that you may, or may not earn a spot in the organization, we want to make sure that you have the knowledge and tools necessary to become a better player.

Please be certain to bring the following items to your audition: sticks/mallets; primary instrument (snare, tenor, or bass drum when possible), earplugs, well made 3-ring binder with sheet protectors, and a pencil. If you have any questions, please contact the crown office (crown@carolinacrown.org) and they will direct you to the appropriate personnel.

*Once we receive your Application/Medical Application and your $100 Application Fee we will send you your audition materials.
