Auditions

Ace the Mascot sits on a miniature P-40 airplane that is being driven on a road with both sides lined with a marching band. Cheerleaders follow him.

Auditions and Try-Outs

You can still cheer, dance, sing, and play in college. At the University of Louisiana Monroe, all majors are invited to audition for our Spirit Groups (Cheer, Hawkline, and Ace the Mascot) and School of Visual and Performing Arts groups (a variety of dance, choral, and instrumental ensembles). Plus, all full-time students in good standings involved in these groups receive scholarships, stipends, or grants to help pay for school.

All majors are invited to audition for instrumentalists, drum line, and color guard. If selected, you may qualify for a Talent Grant to help pay for college, no matter your major.
