All Marshall University students are welcome to join regardless of major and experience. Come join the family and be a part of the powerful sound that is the Marching Thunder!<\/p>\n

Frequently asked questions can be answer here.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Although there are no formal auditions for brass and woodwind players to be a member of the Marching Thunder, there are several Important Considerations<\/strong> always being considered of the members.\u00a0Most obviously, the technical abilities of the individual are considered important to the performance aspects of our ensemble. However, there are several other qualities the staff and director consider during throughout the season and rehearsal process which are equally important. Some of these would include character<\/strong>, integrity<\/strong>, and attitude<\/strong>. Additionally, the members should demonstrate the ability to take and apply criticism for further personal growth and development<\/strong>, as well as the ability to work as part of a team<\/strong> in collaboration toward a common goal.<\/p>\n

The Marching Thunder is a highly visible entity of Marshall University and we hold our members to a high musical and social standard.<\/p>\n

The Marching Thunder Brass is made up of the usual instrumentation: Trumpets, Mellophones, Trombones, Baritones, and Sousaphones. Membership in the brass section of the Marching Thunder is open to all students of Marshall University and local community colleges. We welcome and invite your participation. We want you here! If you have any question regarding involvement in The Marching Thunder as a brass player your are more than welcome to reach out to any of our student leaders below. If you have specific questions for the Director, please contact Dr. Christopher Schletter<\/a>.<\/p>\n
