Letter to Prospective Students

 

GSU Signature with Motto

 

Dear Prospective Student

We are very proud to have this opportunity to invite you to become a member of the Grambling State University “World Famed” TIGER Marching Band. At this time, we are reaching for new heights, new goals and methods of teaching, as well as innovative ideas. The time is coming for us to consider, evaluate and audition prospective personnel for the Grambling State University Concert/Marching Band for a new school term.

Under new procedures, you will receive a set of application forms for a Band Service Award. This application must be filled out and returned to our office immediately. If you have any other required paperwork to mail to the university (i.e. Admission Application, Housing Application, Financial Aid Application or Medial Immunization/History Form) we will be glad to forward them to the appropriate department(s).

All applicants seeking financial assistance through our Band Service Award Program must perform the audition requirements. If you choose to email a video of your audition, please feel free to do so by emailing the appropriate band director. In-person or Virtual Auditions may also be scheduled. I suggest that all applications and forms be prepared and mailed immediately as we will have a limited amount of funds available for Band Service Awards. Please contact the appropriate director or email us at worldfamed@gram.edu, If you have any questions.
