Joining the WMB


Registering for the Warhawk Marching Band is easy!  Just add MUSC 169-01  when you register for fall classes during your "SOAR" session this  summer.    No auditions are required for Winds, Brass, and Color Guard.  
The Warhawk Marching Band is open to ALL students at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater regardless of major.  Although previous marching experience is beneficial to prospective members, it is NOT required.

NOTE TO  ALL PERCUSSIONISTS:   Once you register, you are IN the band!    However, you are required to play a placement audition on the first day of band camp to determine what instrument best suits your abilities and needs of the band.    Please check the "PERCUSSION" tab for audition information and music. 

If you are already a UW-Whitewater student, you can register on WINS.   You will receive information via your school email and/or by U.S. mail over the summer about reporting for band camp.
