Marching Illini audition questions

<p>Hi so I have some questions, preferably for someone who is/was in the marching band or is very knowledgeable. </p>

<p>I am a trumpet player, I'd consider myself to be a decent trumpet player, I'm first chair, have a professional horn, and won the featured trumpet solo in our marching show. </p>

<p>I'm nervous for the auditions though, how competitive is it, do you have to be absolutely incredible to get in? </p>

<p>Also my biggest concern is I'm not good at sight reading at all... I can't sight-read things that are really complicated, will that pretty much take me out of the running completely?</p>

<p>anyone have any answers? Even if you are part of another marching band?</p>
