Illini Drumline

Audition Information

Auditions for the Illini Drumline are held in the Spring for the following Fall Semester. All students enrolled at either Parkland or the University of Illinois during the following Fall Semester are eligible to audition. Current members of the Illini Drumline are required to re-audition.

The audition process consists of several Saturday camps throughout the spring. Camps last all day on Saturdays and time is spent learning and refining skills. Students are allowed to audition for more than one instrument. Each week a tech is available to make a suggestion about continuing on a particular instrument. Final cuts will be made during one of the last camps and will be announced at the first camp.

Information specific to the 2010 auditions will be available here shortly.

Please come prepared to the audition camps and ready to learn. It is in your best interests to listen and learn from the instructors.
