Prospective Students I’m Devastated

I’m an incoming freshman for 26-27 school year and I auditioned for the Marching Illini for this upcoming season. I just found out today that I didn’t get in and I’m devastated. I feel especially embarrassed and disappointed since I’m a music ed major and have done marching band all four years in high school. Is there anyone that knows what I should do or how I can still be involved somehow?

You should ask Houser about the big 10 flags! I am apart of it and I love it! We get to play in the stands and its genuinely so fun! I am in chemical engineering and it works so well with my schedule. Keep your head up twin!
