Welcome to the 2025 OSU Marching Percussion Audition Information Site
*** UPDATED FRIDAY, MAY 3 AT 10:00PM ***
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.
If your name is not on the list, it is possible that I made a mistake - email percussion@okstate.edu!!!

FINAL LIVE AUDITION - SATURDAY, MAY 3 - 9:00AM - 3:00PM
Meet in room 110 Greenwood School of Music
Last week was a great start, except for the weather! It is supposed to be clear Saturday although a bit chilly so be prepared.
This final audition will be slightly diferent. We will set up with the intent to let everyone warm up, but then we will just have the max instrumentation for each section and switch people in and out to find the right combination. Results will be announced when we have made our final decisions. My "hope" is to be done in the morning session if possible. With SO much going on in Stillwater (Calf Fry, Trisha Yearwood w/ Garth Brooks, and 2 senior recitals), I hope to get you all out of town by 12:30 or so. If we need an afternoon session to be fair, we will.
I apologize for this being posted so late - time in front of a computer has been scarce.
