THE CHIPPEWA MARCHING BAND

at Central Michigan University

2017 Drum Line

Audition Materials

Play with the HEART of a true CHAMPION.

Greetings!

Im excited to know of your interest in our FANTASTIC Drum Line and the Chippewa
Marching Band! The attached materials will help you to prepare for our day-long
Audition on June 5 here at CMU. Our staff and our returning students look forward to
working with you to give you your best chance at becoming part of the long and proud
tradition of the Marching Chips.

The enclosed exercises and cadences represent a portion of what you might be
expected to play as a member of the Drum Line. Prepare as much of each as you are
able. Be ready to play as many instruments and parts as suit you. If youre not
comfortable playing Tenors or Snare, DONT WORRY! We love to put a large and
energetic Cymbal section out our fans really love our Cymbals!

Please dont hesitate to contact me with any questions about your audition. Be sure to
look through the general Audition materials to see how you can schedule your audition
through the Orientation office.

Im looking forward to seeing YOU at CMU,

Dr. James Batcheller, Director

169 Music Building CMU Mt. Pleasant, MI 48858 989.774.3317 batch1jc@cmich.edu
