Auditions

We're the backbeat behind your degree. You may declare engineering - but your soul declares 4/4 time!

Purdue Musical Organizations offers one of the finest music programs in the country. Listen to our sound. We jam, blend, croon, vocalize, dance, and ring heaven-like to the cosmos!

You, too, can represent superb music. Simply show us your mojo! We need true-blue artists: singers, bell ringers, instrumentalists, drummers, bass players, and sound techs. Within PMO, you will find

  • A wide variety of musical types and styles
  • A wonderful blend of professionalism, vocal coaching and performance opportunities

INSTRUMENTALISTS

  • Bring your musical instrument to your audition. Instrumentalists are regularly featured in our performances. If you play it well, we may be able to use you!
  • Bell Auditions are primarily sight-reading, so no prior song preparation is required.

If you are interested in auditioning for PMO, please submit your information, and be sure to contact Derrick Williams at dwilliams@purdue.edu or call 765-496-3934 for additional information about the PMO Audition.
