Step 4 – Upload Audition to BYU Box Account

Upload your audition file to http://box.byu.edu by May 1. The Band Office secretary will send an email invitation to a shared folder to use for your audition files.

For students deferring for OR returning from a mission: BYU Box accounts are not available for students until they are enrolled in a semester. Please email your audition files to band-office@byu.edu. You may also upload the files to another cloud service (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc) and share a folder with the Band Office.

Auditions Due May 1st

Positions are awarded as qualified players audition. Announcements of membership and scholarship awards will be sent after May 15. Color Guard members will receive acceptance a few weeks after the audition. Please be considerate and patient, as we receive between 350-400 applications for the band each year. Some notifications may be sent as late as June 1, depending on the number of auditions received.

Additional audition recordings will be accepted until the band is completely staffed. Those who audition late have a much lower chance of getting a position. We urge prospective members to audition as soon as possible.

After you receive notification of acceptance into the band, you can register for the marching band class (Music 322R, Section 1). Registration is through MyMap on your myBYU account.

If you have any questions about your audition or anything else, please see the frequently asked questions or send us a message.
