Step 1
Step 2

Create a short video to be viewed by the Band Staff.

​

This video should contain the following information:

  • Please tell us for what leadership position you are auditioning.

  • Please tell us why you think you would be a good candidate for the Guard Leadership position.

  • What do you consider your greatest strength?

  • What do you think is the job of the Guard Officer? 

  • If you saw someone struggling with the flag work,  what would you do?

  • Finally, please share anything else that you’d like us to know before we make our decision! 

​

Be sure to have adequate light to ensure a quality video.  There is no maximum time limit for the video, but please keep your comments concise and avoid rambling.
