In this first half of a two-part episode, we dig into the nitty gritty of drumline auditions. Doug Bush, Patricia Islas, and Zach Scheer break down what makes a great audition process, how to balance fairness, seniority, musical achievement, and lessons learned (sometimes the hard way) along the way. Whether you’re gearing up for next season or rethinking your whole process, this episode is full of practical takeaways and real talk.
