The RedSteppers

2010 Redsteppers

RedStepper Clinics and Auditions

Auditions for Redsteppers are held twice a year - the first time in late spring, and then during the Marching Hundred Band Camp Week. 2013 auditions will be held on April 27 . . . 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. in the Gladstein Fieldhouse (adjacent to Assembly Hall). The fall audition will begin at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, August 20 - once again in the Gladstein Fieldhouse.

In addition, a clinic session (free of charge) to learn the basics will be held on the Morning of April 27, 2013. Click here for information on that clinic. You may attend the clinic session in the morning without auditioning for the group that day. The clinic sessions goes from 10-1 on that day, with a short break leading into the actual "audition" portion of the day.

Auditions consist of learning one or two dance routines taught at the audition, along with basic stretches and terminology sessions. Selections will be made on the basis of performance, talent, appearance and ability to synchronize movements. For a successful audition, you normally should have had several years of dance training experience.

This group is not a pom-pon group group but strictly a dance unit. Costumes (with the exception of footwear, trunks and leotards etc.) will be furnished by the Department of Bands (a complete list of items that you must supply will be available at the audition).

Please wear form-fitting dance attire and soft dance shoes or tennis shoes to the audition.

If you are accepted as a RedStepper, you must attend the remainder of band camp (visit www.marchinghundred.org for the Band Camp Schedule).
