Marching Band Uniform Care Reminders

Please see below for helpful reminders regarding care for the marching band uniforms:



  • Sweat collars should be removed from the jacket and washed with mild detergent on gentle cycle (or hand washed). Hang to dry.
  • When the jacket is hanging at home, remove it from the garment bag. Keep the jacket on the hanger it was distributed on and let hang outside of garment bag.

PMEA D10 Audition Information

PMEA D10 Band & Orchestra auditions will take place on Saturday, December 03 @ Parkland HS.


For students auditioning, please read this important information below:



  1. You must arrange your own transportation to & from Parkland HS that day. School transportation is not provided. Our audition time is usually early in the morning, so it will not conflict with the parade later on that afternoon.
  2. You must have an original copy of the music. Be sure to check you have the correct edition.
  3. Read through all requirements regarding what movements to be preparing, scales, octaves, rhythms specified, etc.
  4. ** ALL STUDENTS AUDITIONING MUST schedule a time to be heard prior to auditions on 12/03. We can treat this like a mock audition to help prepare you for auditions.
