Welcome!

Thank you for downloading the Kennesaw State Marching Owls audition packet for the 2025
season. You have made the first step towards becoming an Owl! There are lots of talented
people interested in coming to audition and we are excited about what’s in store for this
ensemble. You have made the first step.

Notes on auditions:
The auditions will consist of a few parts. We will see you all play together as a group, on all
the material in this packet. We will also hear you play individually for the sta . Note: if you
are unprepared for auditions (i.e. can’t play the material) it will compromise your audition
experience. EVERY SPOT IS OPEN! We want to put the best product with the best people on
the field.

Solo/Excerpt:
We do ask that you prepare 1-2 min. of a solo piece or portion of a show that you have
played (from memory if possible) to demonstrate your abilities. Don’t play something that
is too hard, or easy for your level of playing. It is to see what you can do, not expose flaws in
your playing. We are looking for good sound and control, musicality, timing, and of course
accuracy. Playing it faster doesn’t help you, play what makes you look the best.

It’s an exciting time at KSU as we are looking forward to our 11th season! We hope to see
you at auditions!

The audition process will break down into two areas:
1. Ensemble Performance 2. Individual Evaluation
• In the ensemble environment, we will be looking for your musical mastery of the warm-up
packet as well as your ability to blend, balance, and adapt. As we work through the
technique program, specific explanations of approach will take place. Your ability to keep
an open mind and incorporate the KSU way of doing things into your playing will be crucial.
• If you are asked to perform for an individual evaluation, you will perform exercises from
this packet as well as other basic rudimental skills. Expect to receive immediate and
detailed feedback from an instructor during your individual evaluation.

Audition Tips
• The success of your performance at the audition will be directly related to the level of
preparation of the audition material.
• Drum in a mirror when you practice and record yourself with some type of electronic
device. Listen critically to the recording and work to perfect your performance.
• Always use a metronome, or music with a steady tempo when practicing. Be able to mark
time to all material.
• Keep in mind that you are auditioning at all times. Be professional!
• Be sure to ask questions if you are confused about anything you are being asked.
• Prepare yourself to be involved in a tedious and competitive process. Your ability to stay
mentally engaged in the process throughout the audition will be crucial.
• Strive to give o a sense of confidence in your audition. Everything is a performance, from
8 on a hand to game day. Convince us you are comfortable with what you’re doing.

Playing Methods
• Feel 100% physical comfort and relaxation from your shoulders through your fingertips.
The fewer muscles you have tense and engaged, the better your sound will be.
• Achieve a full, warm sound quality at every dynamic level. Piano shouldn’t sound like
forte, but it should be the fullest, warmest piano possible.
• Find the pocket and stay in it. Our main utility as percussionists is keep perfect time.
Strive to find the groove in every phrase and keep rhythms in time.
• Always feel a soft touch in your hands. The stick should feel heavy and your grip never
tight or squeezing the stick. “Choked o ” and harsh sounds will result from a too-tight grip.
• Play perfect rhythms. Analyze each rhythm you play, identify the rudiments, and be able
to understand the underlying check patterns within each phrase that exist to keep you in
time.
• Lastly, be ready to work your hardest. You will be expected to simultaneously achieve a
balanced, warm quality of sound and perfect rhythms while using a uniform touch, feel,
and technique with 7-9 other people.
