Drum Corps?

[mikeHAZE]

So, I was wondering if any smashers out there have marched Drum Corps? I was Horn Sgt. and one of the lead Sops. last year at the Velvet Knights.

Any other vets out there?

Just an enthusiast.

I was in WGI for my high school career. Amazingly fun times.

 

[mikeHAZE]

im sad that nobody replied other than CK.

Whoa, I never thought I'd see this topic on here. I marched baritone for Carolina Crown this past summer. It's nice to see other vets on SWF.

 

[mikeHAZE]

whoa holy ****, CC? haha, you guys had an awesome show ^_^.

where else have you marched?

 

[SU_Remo]

^_^ Thanks. It was an amazing summer. And my rookie year at any drum corps. I never got to see VK perform. How was it and have you marched anywhere else?

 

[mikeHAZE]

nah, that was my rookie year as well. It was a good experience, but I'm sad that we didn't get a full tour.

sadly I'm not marching this summer because of school :[

what about yourself?

 

[SU_Remo]

Mhm, I can't march this year because of money. I came back from tour completely broke. All the money I had worked for in the six months prior to tour went to Crown, so yeah, I knew I couldn't've paid for school plus save up enough money for 08, but I hope to go back to Crown in '09 for my age-out. When's your age-out?

 

[mikeHAZE]

like '11 lol, i get the bonus year i think.

 

[SU_Remo]

Nice, you've got a while. Any plans on going back to VK or maybe auditioning elsewhere, hm?

 

[mikeHAZE]

i think i'm going back to VK next year, then possibly auditioning for another corps, I have no idea what yet. I want to go back for another year for sure.

if you're interested, here's our 07 show.

Ok, just take it to PM guys.

Edit: On a side note, my percussion instructor in High School marched Star of Indiana, which is now Blast, and Bridgemen. Not sure how familiar you are with the drumming aspect, but his close friend was Jeff Prosperie who I have met quite a few times and had taught us plenty.

Woodwinds > Brass.

So no. Never. XD

Anyways, I know several people from high school that have already auditioned, made it, and are going to march in DCI. They're really excited for it.

What corps you auditioning for?


As for me...i wasn't marching this season til like, two weeks ago when the corps director pretty much convinced me, they're going to help me with my tour fees and such, so i'll be with Velvet Knights again in '08

I did marching band in HS. We got state, regional champs and stuff. I thought about doing Drum Corps, but I didnt feel it was worth giving up my entire summer for it.

A friend of mine is marching with Spirit of JSU, and my assitant director (and someother not really employed guy that works with us) marched with Phantom.
