* Auditions for the Fall 2023 season have passed. If you are interested in joining the Band, please reach out to Ja'Karri Pierre at drillmaster@harvardband.org.*
For the Fall 2023 season, the Harvard University Band will be holding auditions taking place on Saturday, September 9 from 10 am - 6 pm, and Sunday, September 10, from 10 am - 5 pm. Students will have the opportunity to reserve an audition slot with just the Harvard University Band using the sign up process below.
Auditions for the Band are very informal, and you can audition at any time by emailing the Band's Drill Master, Ja'Karri Pierre, at drillmaster@harvardband.org! We see auditions as an opportunity for the Band to get to know you and to welcome you into the organization. Importantly, there is no need to sweat—anyone who wants to join can join. If you play an instrument, we will ask you to play a scale and sightread a Harvard fight song. If you don't play an instrument, we'll discuss other ways to get involved! Note that you do not need to own an instrument—you can borrow one from the Band.
All auditions will take place at 74 Mount Auburn Street.
If you have any questions pertaining to joining the Harvard University Band, feel free to email Ja'Karri Pierre at drillmaster@harvardband.org.
NOTE: Audition slots will be prioritized for students interested in joining the Harvard University Band. Students interested in joining the Wind Ensemble or Jazz Bands may also sign up for an audition slot below, but may have their slots cancelled and reassigned should interest in the HUB exceed available slots. If you have any questions regarding the Wind Ensemble or Jazz Band, please reach out to Mark Olson (meolson@fas.harvard.edu).
