2026 Pre-Season Events


Crossroads strives to provide accessibility to a world-class caliber of instruction. Collectively, our educational team has 70+ years of marching and teaching experience, and we will do our part to provide access to this knowledge and expertise. In part, our mission is to be at the forefront of education for the marching-arts activity in the Midwest region.


Crossroads Percussion and Guard have a two-fold mission:

  • Provide access to world-class educational opportunities.

  • Perform and compete at the regional and national levels.

To achieve this mission, we host three preseason events for both ensembles:

  • Experience Event 1 - SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2025

  • Experience Event 2 - SUNDAY, OCTOBER 12, 2025

  • Audition Callback Camp - SUNDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2025

Experience Events are meant to be no-commitment opportunities for performers to improve their skills. Experience Events are:

  • Open to individuals of any age

  • Open to individuals with any/no prior experience

  • No commitment to participate in the competitive season with Crossroads

Each Event will include 8 hours of playing and instructional time from our Educational Team. At the conclusion of each Experience Event, individuals we believe are competitive for our 2026 program will be invited to attend the Audition Callback Camp. Therefore, individuals who want to participate in the upcoming competitive ensemble should treat the Experience Events as an Audition, and must attend ONE OR BOTH Experience Events.
