The information on this page is exclusively for those interested in auditioning for the 2008 Santa Clara Vanguard battery percussion section as well as returning battery members. Please read all of the information carefully.
Auditions:
Anyone wishing to be part of the 2008 SCV battery must plan on attending the auditions in Santa Clara. This includes returning members. Exceptions to this will be handled on a case-by-case basis. Please read the Video Audition Procedure if you choose to go this route. At the conclusion of each camp weekend, a list will be posted of those who will continue on to the next camp. The line will be set at the January camp.

The Season:
Full attendance at all camps will be crucial to our success and is therefore mandatory. Exceptions to this will be handled on a case-by-case basis. Keep in mind that an effort has been made to avoid scheduling conflicts with most California and Nevada WGI regionals as well as WGI Championships. Absences due to any other winter percussion conflicts are not acceptable.
Weekly sectional rehearsals may be scheduled for those who are local during the winter. All members should be prepared for move-in by May 16th.
