The focus of the Auburn University Marching Leadership and Auxiliary Camp is on developing leadership skills, improving basic and advanced technique, and enhancing the overall impact of a marching band performance. The Marching Leadership and Auxiliary Camp is staffed by the directors and student leaders of our very own Auburn University Marching Band and AUMB Tiger Eyes visual ensemble.
The program is open to high school Drum Majors, Section Leaders, Majorettes, Dancers, or Colorguard members who will be in the 9th through 12th grade in the upcoming school year.
