“Marching Orders,” a 12-episode series about Bethune-Cookman University’s Marching Wildcats band, debuts Friday on Netflix.

The unscripted series looks at auditions to make the more than 300-member band at the private university in Daytona Beach.

“Marching Orders” also explores how joining the band has become a family tradition accompanied with high expectations. The series examines the hard work, long hours and exuberant style that members bring to the group.
