Audition Fee:

A one time, non refundable audition fee of $30 is due at check in. Please make checks payable to “AUMB” (Auburn University Marching Band).

Note to Those Attending Camp War Eagle:

If you are an entering freshman or transfer student and will be attending Camp War Eagle, you may plan to attend the Camp War Eagle session immediately before or after the audition camp. The audition camp is arranged so that you can attend either session, and only make one trip to Auburn’s campus during the summer. For those attending the Camp War Eagle session before the audition camp, plan on coming straight to camp once CWE is finished.

Food and Housing:

Food and housing are not provided for the auditions – please plan accordingly. However, we are usually able to arrange housing for a certain number of out-of-town students with in-town members. Please call Dr. Rosener at (334) 844-3160 for assistance in arranging housing.
