Pep Band

 

The Texas Woman's University Pep band is an organization of instrumentalists that perform at athletic events in support of our TWU Pioneers. All potential members must audition for the group and some members will be selected for paid positions. Paid members must register for the course and play at every scheduled Pep Band event (see list of dates below). As a member, you will receive university credit and a pep uniform. In addition, non-paid positions are open to more instruments including: auxiliary percussion, bass clarinet, tenor sax, baritone sax, and flute.

Dr. Etienne Stoupy, Director

Audition Excerpts

Drummers –As the drummer for the group, you will be required to improvise on many charts. There will always be a snare or bass drum part to use as a point of reference, but keeping good time and style will ultimately be up to you.

Tuba – We are using Sousaphones for the ensemble, but you can audition on a concert tuba.
