How to join
<p>The Warhawk Marching Band is open to ALL students at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater regardless of major. Although previous marching experience is beneficial to prospective members, it is not required.</p>
<p>Registering for the Warhawk Marching Band is easy! <strong>Just add the course MUSC 169-01 when you register for fall classes.</strong> No auditions are required for winds, brass, and color guard.</p>
<p>Note to percussionists: Once you register, you are in the band. However, you are required to play a placement audition on the first day of band camp to determine what instrument best suits your abilities and needs of the band.</p>
