Falcon Marching Band Drumline

Welcome to the official website for the Bowling Green State University Falcon Drumline. On this page you will find information concerning audition times and materials, clinics, performances and staff bios.  

The BGSU Drumline has a rich history of tradition within the Falcon Marching Band and strives to lead young percussionists in achieving their goals in marching percussion and performance. The group performs at all home football games as well as other events on campus throughout the fall.

Thanks for your interest in joining the Drumilne! We are excited to have you with us for the 2025-2026 school year! Auditions for Fall 2025 will be in two parts, a video audition and an in-person audition. To be eligible for the in-person audition you must submit a video. Both the video and the in-person auditions will be evaluated by a panel of judges. After the videos have been evaluated you will be notified by email whether or not you are invited to participate in the in-person audition.

The Video Audition

The videos will be due May 23rd at 5pm. They can be submitted early. Please submit the video as an unlisted YouTube link. Do not submit a private link as your video will be viewed by a panel of judges. If you are unable to provide a YouTube link, please communicate with me in advance of the deadline to discuss your options.

The In-Person Audition

The Falcon Marching Band rehearses Monday-Friday from 4-5:45. The drumline will have a sectional during that time, with occasional rehearsals outside of normal band rehearsal. We perform at all home football games (typically 6), and some other athletic events in the fall, including sports like soccer and volleyball. The band will typically travel to one away game a season, as well as to a bowl game if the football team is eligible. The marching band also has several additional performances every semester which can range from performing at band shows or competitions, professional sporting events, parades, and more.
