2021 Marching Jayhawks
Summer Information Packet
Welcome to the Marching Jayhawks and the KU Bands!
We’re looking forward to a great season as we welcome our new and returning members. The
Marching Jayhawks are a diverse group of students, representing over 80 majors on campus.
There is a place for you!
This packet contains everything you need to know for band camp and our fall season. If you
have any questions, please contact the band office at 785-864-3367, or Dr. Smith directly at
maosmith@ku.edu. We have included early move-in information for band members, detailed
band camp and season schedules, and information on the other bands within the KU Band
program. Note that you will receive updated schedules at band camp, as we still have some
events to finalize for that week.
As we prepare for the fall, we are approaching the upcoming season as if it will be a pre-
pandemic environment. We will continue to monitor recommended and required COVID-19
protocols, and will adjust our procedures as necessary to ensure the safety of our band members.
Despite the unique situation that we face, we want YOU to be a part of our outstanding KU
Band program. For those of you who are new to KU, the bands are a great place to
continue your music making in a welcoming environment, make lasting friendships, and be
an integral part of the KU community. We can’t wait to return to campus and make music
together!
Enjoy the rest of your summer, and we’ll see you in August – ROCK CHALK!

3 EASY STEPS TO JOIN THE MARCHING JAYHAWKS!
1. If you are an undergraduate, register for BAND 410. If you are a graduate student,
register for BAND 710. The official meeting time for band is MWF from 3:45-5:45
p.m. If you have a class conflict, we cover that later in this packet.
2. Fill out the online 2021 BAND CAMP REGISTRATION FORM. Please do this no
later than FRIDAY, JULY 23. The form is also available on the “How to Join” page
of the Marching Jayhawks website, marchingjayhawks.com
3. Complete the 2021 BAND EXPENSE FORM; mail it, with your check, to the Band
Office or bring to band camp registration (we are unable to process credit/debit
cards). The form is the last page of the SUMMER INFORMATION PACKET.
SCHEDULES AND MOVE-IN INFORMATION
You will receive updated band camp and season schedules at band camp, but the attached
schedules are fairly accurate. Read the band camp schedule very carefully!
EXPENSES AND EARLY MOVE-IN
New Members: there is a Band Activity Fee ($200 for new members, $175 for returning
members), payable by check only. This fee helps to offset many costs, including dry cleaning at
the end of the season, lots of Adidas apparel, instrument and equipment maintenance, and other
expenses. New members will need to purchase shoes as well.
For those of you living in university housing: we will make arrangements for you to move into
the residence halls, scholarship halls, and Jayhawker Towers beginning at 8:00 a.m. on the
following dates. Note that this is before the scheduled move-in for the rest of the campus.
• Tuesday, August 10: Drum majors, student staff, and drumline move-in and begin camp
• Wednesday, August 11: Colorguard move-in and begin camp
• Friday, August 13: Leadership move-in and begin camp
• Sunday, August 15: All other new and returning members will move-in and begin camp
We collect your housing information from you via the online 2021 BAND CAMP
REGISTRATION FORM. The band will not collect early move-in fees; these fees will appear
directly on your university account. If you live in KU student housing (residence halls,
scholarship halls, Stouffer Place Apartments, Jayhawker Towers, etc.), the band will contribute a
portion of these expenses ($10 per night); these are reimbursed later in the fall semester. If you
wish to move in on a day other than your assigned day, you must make those arrangements
directly with KU Housing. The band will not reimburse additional nights prior to your assigned
move-in date listed above. If you have any other questions related to early move-in for band
members, please contact Dr. Smith or the KU Band office FIRST, and we will let you know if
you need to contact KU Housing. Additional information regarding move-in and meals is listed
in the 2021 Band Camp Schedule later in this packet.

WE MUST HAVE UNIVERSITY HOUSING INFORMATION ON THE ONLINE BAND
CAMP REGISTRATION FORM NO LATER THAN FRIDAY, JULY 23
OR YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO MOVE-IN EARLY!
2021 BAND CAMP REGISTRATION FORM
COURSE REGISTRATION and CLASS CONFLICTS
All marching band members are REQUIRED to register for BAND 410 or 710 for the fall
semester. Please register prior to your arrival on campus if you have not done so already.
If you have a special circumstance that does not permit you to register for the marching band,
please contact Dr. Smith. We do allow minor class conflicts for unavoidable, required class
conflicts only (if your conflicted class is an elective, or offered in another semester, this does
not qualify). Work, clubs, fraternity/sorority conflicts, etc. are not permitted for band
conflicts.
Course conflicts must be addressed in three ways:
• Notify Dr. Smith with the nature of the conflict (class, days, and times) and get approval.
• Complete the Request for Time Conflict Approval Form through the Office of the
Registrar.
• During band camp, there will be a separate online “Band Class Conflict Form” that we’ll
need you to fill out for our own records; we’ll explain it at one of our meetings during
band camp.
If you are not pursuing a degree at KU (i.e., attending community college, Haskell Indian
Nations University, etc.) you can still participate in the Marching Jayhawks! You must be
admitted to KU as a “non-degree seeking student” and then enroll in BAND 410/710. To apply
as a non-degree seeking student, please visit the following link:
https://admissions.ku.edu/freshman-requirements-deadlines/applying-to-ku-/readmits-
nondegree-seekers
FALL SORORITY RECRUITMENT
Formal sorority recruitment takes place at the same time as band camp in August. Due to the
time required of each activity, it is not possible to do both in August. We recommend that you
join the Marching Jayhawks, and then go through continuous sorority recruitment later in the
school year.
3
INFORMATION FOR FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS
There will be a meeting for all first-year band members on Monday morning of band camp
(listed on the band camp schedule). A representative from KU's Office of First Year Experience
will share information regarding Hawk Week and essential information for band members. New
first-year members who did not attend a summer orientation session may need to attend a one-
day orientation session on the Tuesday of band camp. Indicate if you will attend the Tuesday
orientation date on the 2021 BAND CAMP REGISTRATION FORM.
MUSIC AND CORDS
Our traditional music for woodwind and brass players is available on our website. Please take
the time to download and begin to learn them. To access the music, please visit the “Members
Only” page of http://music.ku.edu/marchingjayhawks and enter the following password:
Marching2021
It is important to have the music memorized as quickly as possible. We have a tradition of
handing out uniform cords to new members once they have “checked off” their memorization.
In addition, your pregame music must be checked off to audition for the basketball bands and to
receive your free pass for men’s basketball games (see the season calendar for deadlines). For
those of you who may have difficulty memorizing music, do not worry. We have found that
memorization takes care of itself as you become more familiar with playing the music in a group
setting over a number of repetitions. Returning members – note that we will have a new
version of The Star-Spangled Banner this year, and you will need to pass off this
memorization to receive your cord.
WOODWIND & BRASS PLAYERS
The Marching Jayhawks provide all instruments and equipment. If you are a brass player, you
have the option to use your own instrument, as long as it is silver. Woodwinds may use their
own instrument if they prefer as well (though saxophones must be silver). Please note the
following related to your instrument:
• Clarinets, Alto and Tenor Saxophones: students must provide their own mouthpiece,
ligature, and reeds
• Trumpets, Trombones, Baritones: students must provide their own mouthpiece
• Mellophones and Sousaphones: we will provide a mouthpiece
Please bring any accessories (mouthpiece caps, valve oil, slide grease, polishing clothes, etc.).
Students who use their own instrument are responsible for their own repairs, as are any repairs to
school instruments that are the fault of the student or negligence.
Instruments will be distributed at band camp. Woodwind and brass players have no audition for
membership into the Marching Jayhawks! However, we do hold part assignment auditions for
piccolo, clarinet, alto saxophone, trumpet, mellophone, trombone, and baritone. Auditions will
consist of two major scales of your choice (two octaves), a chromatic scale (your full range), and
4
sight-reading. You are welcome to use your own instrument for the auditions if you prefer.
Instrument storage lockers are available to rent in Murphy Hall. There is no cost, however many
marching band members do not rent one as we are rarely in Murphy Hall outside of band camp,
and most students store their instruments in their rooms. Drumline and sousaphone members
have other storage available. If you are a music major, you will want to check out a locker.
GOING PAPERLESS
As we began last year, we will not use traditional flip folders and sheet music this year, and we
are going to plan on using an app for drill charts. We will discuss procedures during band camp.
Special lyres (eFlips) that can accommodate smart phones will be provided. If you do not have a
smart phone, please contact Dr. Smith and we will provide you with printed copies of music and
drill. It is IMPERATIVE that you show up to rehearsals and performances with a charged
phone. Be sure to purchase a portable charger if you do not already own one.
COLORGUARD
Given the current situation with the COVID-19 virus, we will not hold in-person colorguard
auditions for the upcoming season. If you are interested in joining our colorguard for the 2021
season, please email Dr. Smith (maosmith@ku.edu) if you have not done so already.
Colorguard members will move in on Wednesday, August 11.
DRUMLINE
The 2021 University of Kansas Drumline Audition process has been changed due to the COVID-
19 pandemic. Please visit our drumline website for full information:
http://music.ku.edu/marchingjayhawks/drumline
Drumline members move in on Tuesday, August 10, begin camp full-time that evening, and
continue to the end of band camp. Please refer to the band camp schedule for details.
DCI MEMBERS
We have a number of students who march with Drum Corps International during the summer. If
you are in DCI then you will be expected to begin camp on Tuesday, August 17. There is a place
on our BAND CAMP REGISTRATION FORM to indicate if you are in drum corps and need
to move into your dorm after August 14.
PEP BANDS
Our pep bands are comprised of members from the marching band. We have an enthusiastic
volunteer Volleyball Band that is active during the fall semester for the home games for the KU
Women’s Volleyball team. Audition dates and signups for the Men’s and Women’s Basketball
Band auditions are announced in September. Ms. Toulouse conducts the Men’s Basketball
Band, and our graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) conduct the Women's Basketball and
Volleyball Bands.
5CONCERT AND JAZZ BANDS
In addition to the marching and pep bands, KU has outstanding concert bands and jazz
ensembles. Many of our students choose to participate in other bands during the school year in
addition to the Marching Jayhawks.
Wind Ensemble (BAND 402/702) – Dr. Paul Popiel, Director of Bands, conductor
Fall Semester Rehearsals: MWF 1:00-2:50; Spring Semester: MWF 2:00-3:50
Symphonic Band (BAND 404/704) – Dr. Matthew Smith, conductor
Fall Semester Rehearsals: TTh 3:30-5:20; Spring Semester: MWF 2:00-3:50
University Band (Music 406/706) – Ms. Sharon Toulouse, conductor
Fall Semester Rehearsals: Th 6:00-7:20; Spring Semester: TTh 4:00-5:20)
Detailed information on joining the Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Band, and University Band is
available on www.kuband.org. All ensembles are courses within the School of Music, and
registration is required. The Wind Ensemble and Symphonic Band are auditioned groups.
Auditions are held during the first few days of the semester, and sign-up sheets for audition times
are posted on the band office windows in August. Audition music will be available on
www.kuband.org this summer. There is no audition required for the University Band, simply
register and attend the first rehearsal.
Information on joining the jazz ensembles and jazz combos can be found on music.ku.edu/jazz
or by contacting Professor Dan Gailey, Director of Jazz Studies, at dgailey@ku.edu. Audition
information should be posted by August 1 on the website.
KAPPA KAPPA PSI and TAU BETA SIGMA
KU has fantastic chapters of these two service organizations, which are dedicated to supporting
college bands. Students in these organizations contribute countless hours through a variety of
projects, and have a great time while doing them. We don’t know what we would do without
these organizations! They are a great group of people to become involved with, both from a
service and a social perspective.
FREE ENTRY FOR KU MEN’S BASKETBALL
Kansas Athletics is very supportive of the Marching Jayhawks. To show their appreciation, all
members of the Marching Jayhawks who are in good standing (and have checked off their
pregame music by the announced date) are placed on a pass list for free admission to home KU
Men’s Basketball games in Allen Fieldhouse for the upcoming season!
6APPAREL…aka GEAR!
Membership in the Marching Jayhawks is not without its privileges! Band members will receive
an Adidas KU hoodie, polo, TWO band t-shirts, a stadium hat for the stands (required for
football games), athletic shorts (for all members – new color this year), and a winter cap. These
items are often used as alternate uniforms for pep bands, pep rallies, and other appearances.
ADDITIONAL NEEDS
Since we perform at a variety of events during the fall, we do not always use the assigned
marching band uniform. We often use our Adidas apparel to play at pep rallies and other non-
football events. To accompany your gear, please be sure to have the following:
• White ankle socks (the kind that someone can see from a distance with your shoes on, but
not all the way up your calf).
• Tall white socks to be worn with our uniform; Colorguard will need black socks.
• Basketball Band members will need to have a pair of black pants or slacks (no
leggings/black jeans/yoga pants, etc.).
