Audition Requirements
About Auditions

If you have been admitted as a new UCLA student for this coming Fall Quarter, you may audition to be in this year's Bruin Marching Band. You may audition in person at the UCLA campus, or by sending in a audio or video recording (video is preferred). DVD is the preferred video format if you mail it in, but most people post their audition on YouTube and email us that link.

If you choose to audition in person, please email the Assistant Director, Kelly Flickinger at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it to set up an appointment. In-person auditions for the Band begin in May. Auditions will continue throughout the summer until each section is filled, so it is to your advantage to audition at your earliest convenience, or send in your tape as soon as possible. We usually try to complete auditions by early August, but later auditions may be accepted.
