We would love to have you join the Broughton Instrumental Program! Every new student will need to take a placement audition with Miss Harrison. This audition will simply be an opportunity for you to showcase what you know so that we can place you in the level and class that will allow you to be most successful! Our Marching Band does not require an audition for wind players, but drumline and color guard will have camps and auditions in the spring.
Placement Auditions will take place in person on April 8-10, 2026 from 3:00-5:00pm in the Broughton Band Room. Videos can be submitted through April 10th!
How to Register for an Audition:
For IN PERSON AUDITIONS:
**Students must use their WCPSS email address to log in to the google forms to register and upload any videos!!!***
For VIDEO AUDITIONS:
RISING 9TH GRADERS: You will need to register with your counselor prior to our auditions, so if you have been in band or orchestra in middle school, please register for "Band Intermediate" or "Orchestra Intermediate". You may need to look under 'restricted electives' to find this option. If you have never played an instrument, register for "Band Beginning". We do not offer beginning orchestra, so please contact Miss Harrison if you have questions!
There is a separate audition for Honors Jazz Ensemble and Wind Ensemble that will take place after placement auditions. I will contact you if you qualify for those auditions! Those etudes can be found in the auditions folder linked above if you would like to get a head start!
