FALL 2022 INFORMATION: To get involved with the Fall 2022 "Mighty Sound of Maryland," there are two simple steps!
1) Complete the 2022 Video Audition Form
2) Register for the Fall 2022 course: MUSC 229F (1 credit hour) AND either MUSC 229G (winds), MUSC229I (guard, twirlers, drumline) or MUSC229K (dance team)
The deadline to complete these TWO steps is July 1st. After that date, we can still accept members, but this will be on a case by case basis, and we may not be able to provide on-campus Early Week housing.
IF, you are interested, but not quite ready to commit, be sure to visit our Virtual Open House (available 24/7), our FAQ page, or attend one of our Virtual Q & A Sessions that we'll be hosting throughout the spring - follow our social media accounts @MightySoundofMD for upcoming dates!
GENERAL AUDITION INFO:
All new and incoming wind, drumline, and guard performers are required to submit a video audition to join MSOM. For drumline, the live audition to determine section placements occurs the Saturday before the start of Early Week. Playing assessments for winds occur at the beginning of Early Week to determine part assignments. Previous experience is NOT required for color guard membership. Wind or drumline membership may be possible for those with no previous experience on a case by case basis.
