Membership in JPE
Membership is by audition and is open to any student in good academic standing who will attend Jefferson High School in the fall. Auditions take place in April, with perspective members being judged on poise, grace, movement and flag basics, commitment, attitude, and ability to learn choreography. The JPE staff is experienced in picking out the potential for these characteristics as well as the characteristics themselves. Audition results are posted outside the Music Office at Jefferson and outside the Main Offices at Tecumseh and Sunnyside Middle Schools.
Members will be asked to dance and spin flag, rifle or saber. Rifle and saber are only open to upperclassmen who have participated in a winter season and require an additional time commitment. The staff determines which piece of equipment a member spins, there is no formal audition.
Once members are selected, they need to return their completed contract along their deposit to the Jefferson High School Music Office. If it is more convenient, you may mail the check and contract to Mr. Tom Barker, Director of Bands, Jefferson High School, 1801 South 18th Street, Lafayette, IN 47905. We must have both the contract and check to secure a place in the show. Once your contract and payment are turned in, you need to see your counselor to add the color guard class to your schedule.
Some members are not ready to handle the responsibilities of the entire contest show even after a summer of training. This provides a perfect opportunity to receive training for the following season and still participate in all functions such as football pre-game, parades, trips, and contests. In this case we may limit a member\'s participation in the contest show in order for them to spend more time on training. All members will be included in the contest show at some point.
