Dear Musician,

Thank you for your interest in the U.S. Marine Music Program. Please review the following letter and enclosed materials to

familiarize yourself with the process of becoming a United States Marine Musician. There are two essential elements to the

process; you must establish your entrance qualifications as a musician and as a United States Marine. The Musician Placement

Director is the Marine responsible for reviewing and certifying your musical qualification. A local Marine Corps recruiter will

help you determine your Marine Corps entrance qualifications and guide you through the process of becoming a Marine.

In order to become eligible to serve as a Marine Musician, musical proficiency must be established in accordance with Marine

Corps Audition Standards. By following a two round process, we will establish an applicant’s potential for service as a Marine

Musician. The first round is a Screening Round, wherein we learn about your musical background and establish the likelihood

of successfully meeting the requirements of the next round. Upon successful evaluation, you will be invited to participate in the

Audition Round, which consists of a live audition proctored by the Musician Placement Director. This serves as the final

determining factor for establishing musical entrance qualifications for service as a Marine Musician.

Screening Round

The Screening Round is used to establish musical background and potential to succeed in the Audition Round. The applicant will

provide the following materials: audio OR video recordings performing required musical excerpts, a completed Musician

Applicant Fact Sheet, and most recent résumé. Submission instructions are provided on the Applicant Fact Sheet.

Audio recordings must be of good quality and in MP3 format only. One recording per excerpt. Please state your name, date of

recording, and the excerpt name at the start of each recording.

If you choose to submit video recordings please ensure the sound quality is good and the video is recorded in a professional

setting. One continuous video file is preferred, but the video does not have to be done in one session. Video should be a full view

of the applicant. Please dress in comfortable, but professional attire.

Audition Round

Based on successful evaluation of the Screening Round, the applicant may be invited to perform the Audition Round. The

Musician Placement Director will hold the Audition Round within the applicant’s geographical area. Dates for the Audition

Round may be previously published or, in some cases, individually scheduled. The Audition Round for all brass and woodwind

instrumentalists consists of the following:

Part 1 – Perform included excerpts as directed.

Part 2 – Perform sight-reading as provided by proctor.

Thank you again for your interest in becoming a Marine Musician.

Sincerely,

Gerald K. Ebo
