The Howard University "Showtime" Marching Band has scholarships available for all interested musicians. Scholarships are given based on skill level and playing ability and vary in amount. Students of all classifications may receive a marching band scholarship, however, preference is given to first time in college freshmen. Band scholarships are reserved for wind and percussion players only. Auxilary members (Ooh La La! Dancers and Flashy Flag Squad) DO NOT receive scholarships. Interested individuals can post their inquiries in this forum or PM me. All young ladies interested in try-out information should contact the Director of Bands at Howard University, Mr. John Newson, at 202-806-5241.

Thanks for the information. I will be in Atlanta on Friday morning. Since I am staying downtown, I will probably check out ESSO. Actually, I am familiar with ESSO so I should have a good time.

For all those prospective Howard University students who are undecided about joining the marching band, I am encouraging you to come to a conclusion soon. The "Showtime" Marching Band would love to have you in their ranks as a member! The deadline for tuition, fees, housing deposits, etc. is swiftly approaching and a marching band scholarship can assist you with payment! For more information, please send me a PM or contact the Director of Bands, Mr. John Newson, at 202-806-5241. HU!!!

This thread seems to be pretty old, but I'm going to be a senior in High School this upcoming fall school year, and I'm the captain of my High School's drumline (3 years) and I really am looking at coming to Howard. Do they still offer band scholarships? and if so, who do i need to contact about it? thx.
