Your students will benefit by observing our talented twirlers in rehearsals with the Marching Chiefs, in a special pregame performance, and at halftime during the FSU/Wake Forest football game. The date is November 11, so call (or have your baton instructor call) as soon as possible for details and reservations.

    Detailed information: FSU Majorette Workshop

    Location: Goodwin Band Hall, Auburn University campus
    Note: You must have applied and been accepted for admission to Auburn University prior to auditions.

    Auditions are all held on the same day. Auditionees are encouraged to audition for two lines to better their chance of making the Tiger Eyes. They have the option to audition for all three lines. They will be asked to number their first and second choice, if they make more than one line. Results will be posted within 24 hours of the actual auditions.

The tape or CD should have 45 seconds of music or less for the audition routine. It is important to have a good tape/CD that is ready to start at the beginning to avoid delays to the auditions. A backup tape/CD is suggested. If your music does not work for some reason, you are to continue performing. Do not ask to start over with your routine.

    The audition will be organized and scored in the following sections:

    * Individual Routines (45 seconds only)
    * Performance of Basic Skills and Travel (Demonstrated in small groups)
    * Learning of a Short Routines (Taught at auditions on both primary and secondary props: Twirlers=primary batons and secondary flags; Flags=primary flags and secondary poms; Dancers=primary poms and secondary flags)
    * Performance of Learned Routines (Demonstrated in small groups)


    Requirements: Twirlers and flags are encouraged to incorporate dance steps into your routine. For Twirlers, the routine must include 30 seconds of one-baton and 15 seconds of two-baton twirling. No props, 3 (+) batons, hoops, streamers, knives, rifles, sabers, or other novelties allowed.

    Twirlers: continuous thumb flips, figure eights, reverse figure eights, horizontal spins, vertical split fingers, forward and reverse wrist twirls, (all prior listed skills on both left and right); left hand back hand flips, horizontal split finger (rh only), left hand horizontal box car, horizontal one turn, verticle r to r back catch, one turn, two turn
