<p>I am a euphonium player and I want to go to UVA. My gpa is not really "UVA Material" and I was wondering if I auditioned for the band and I made it, would that mean I'd be accepted into UVA? I am a phenomenal euphonium player, I've made first chair for the past 3 years, I have been section leader for two years, and I've made All-District band the past two years.</p>
<p>I would expect the marching band to basically take everyone, so I doubt that will help you. Also, I would expect that auditions for the band take place after you arrive at the school, at the beginning of the semester, though I don't know this. You could try emailing the director.</p>
<p>Obviously, they will count your musical ability as a favorable EC.</p>
<p>... ever thought of marching drum corps with those euph skills(<a href="http://www.dci.org)?%5B/url%5D">www.dci.org)?</a></p>
