Welcome to the 2025 OSU Marching Percussion Audition Information Site
Come back here soon as we will update this often. So far all you need to know is:
• If you have not submitted a video, information can be found here.
• For all who have submitted videos, I have sent a confirmation email to you. If you did not receive a confirmation email, email Wayne Bovenschen at wayne.bovenschen@okstate.edu
• Final in-person audition dates are April 26 and/or May 3 (by invitation from first round video submission)
• There have been questions from many rookies - the live audition dates are AND/OR. I know there are band/percussion concerts, prom, band trips, etc that get in the way - thus the reason for 2 audition dates. IF you can attend both, that is preferable and advantageous - but if someone is coming from Alaska, we won't make you come to both!
*** READ EVERYTHING BELOW VERY CAREFULLY ***
Below is the updated list of potential drumline members invited to audition for 2025 based on first round video submissions. If you are still planning to audition for the 2025 OSU Marching Percussion Ensemble, please email Wayne Bovenschen ASAP!!!! It's not too late but close - final results will be announced on May 3rd.
