If you're interested in becoming a member of this highly successful, highly motivated, and talented group of performers, please send us an email so we can send you more information about THE BAND THAT SHAKES THE SOUTHLAND!!

TIGER GUARD AUDITIONS

Come out and spin with the Tiger Guard. Guard Instructor, Terry Kent, is holding auditions for the 2013 season in room 112 of the Brooks Center on April 28 at 1:00pm.

The audition will consist of spinning a flag that will be provided. Feel free to bring a rifle or sabre if you have one. Everything you need to audition will be taught during the day. Be sure to dress in tennis shoes and comfortable clothes conducive to performing.

If you have any questions, please contact Terry Kent.

TIGER TWIRLER AND DANCER AUDITIONS

Students interested in auditioning will learn a short routine from Dance Instructor, Amy Demers or Twirler Instructor, Hazel Cartee that includes a combination of skills typically used during our season. Auditions will follow in groups of 3 or 4 according to numbers drawn upon arrival.

All interested candidates must review the information included in the 2013 audition packet (printable here) AND bring all completed paperwork and transcripts or acceptance letter to the audition on the 27th.

Any questions can be directed to the Dancer & Twirler coordinator, Lindsey Rhodes.

TIGER BAND MARCHES TO RAISE MONEY TO FIGHT ALS

Marching for ALS (Lou Gherig's Disease) brings college marching bands together to raise awareness and funds in the fight against ALS. Funds raised through Marching for ALS go towards The ALS Association's crucial patient services programs, research, and advocacy.

ALS is a terrible and debilitating disease without a cure. Please help Tiger Band make a difference by clicking on the ALS banner and making a donation today.

UPDATE: TIGER BAND PLAZA IS NOW "TIGER BAND SPIRIT POINT"

Plans for the new Tiger Band Plaza at the practice field near the Brooks Center have taken an artistic turn over the last couple of months. The same team that worked on other campus landmarks (Military Heritage Plaza and the new Memorial/Scroll of Honor) held a design charrette with constituents of the project including the band directors, students, administrators, architects, and CUTBA which resulted in an exciting redesign!

New aspects in the redesign include the band rehearsal tower moving from the Perimeter Road side of the field to the campus side and a new path between the practice field and Brooks Center.

This will allow the public and band students to pass over the story of Tiger Band inscribed on the path and through the new structure on the their way to the field. In addition, a future phase involving an exciting new sculpture will make Spirit Point a destination spot on campus.

There are still a few naming opportunities for alumni and friends to take part in; please contact Rob Porter at 864-656-1655 or by email at rporter@clemson.edu to find out more.

In addition, you may download a form to purchase a brick that can be inscribed with your name and instrument or as a memorial by clicking on the following link. Plaza Brick Order Form
