Scholarships

Scholarships are available for Cavalier Marching Band members based on instrumentation needs, merit, and service to the band. Currently low brass and percussionists receive the majority of the scholarship funding, though all section leaders, drill instructors, and other support staff also receive scholarships as well. Students playing low brass or percussion instruments in the CMB should contact Assistant Director, Michael Idzior < This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it > to schedule an audition time.  All first year band members wishing to receive a band scholarship must complete an audition. A great time to complete the audition is when you are already on Grounds for orientation in the summer.
