MARCHING PERCUSSION / DRUMLINE AUDITION UPDATE (as of May 4, 2020)
Initially, we were going to try to hold auditions through virtual/online classes and auditions.  Unfortunately, not every student has access to wi-fi/internet connection or does not have the equipment at home for drumline.

Therefore, we are postponing auditions to happen during the last week of June for the Percussion Camp (June 22-26).  Hopefully, by then we will be able to have some sort of public gathering or there are some guidelines in place for instruction while maintaining social distance. We are cautiously optimistic about the summer.  Numbers continue to improve, but we still have to wait on Hall Co. Schools to make a decision on when we can begin.  I am in communication with all of our Fall coaches so that we are all on the same page to safely make this experience work for all of us.
