Scholarship Auditions

In order to complete your application and be given full consideration for a music scholarship, you must submit a link to a video through Pack ASSIST showing a performance by you on your primary instrument.

Questions?

Contact us with any questions about your scholarship audition video.

You may submit only one video link. We recommend either submitting a shared video stored in Google Drive, or a link to a private or unlisted YouTube upload. Be sure to confirm that the privacy or sharing settings on your video will allow us to view it.

Please review the audition video requirements carefully to ensure your scholarship application will be given full consideration.

Audition Requirements

Please note: If you are hoping to be considered for a marching band scholarship, be sure to audition on your marching band instrument.
