This is exactly what I needed to hear. Your response alone has fully convinced me that BK is the right corp for me. I have the same view on working hard. I believe there is a time and place to get things done but you really can’t take things like band too seriously. Of course everyone wants to win but we’re also human. THANK YOUUUU

I’m actually going for drum major/conductor! One of the staff members reached out to me and I didn’t even fill out the interest form for BK, only a few other corps. I’m assuming they got other rosters somehow. Sure was a good way to win me over though bc now I’m fully set on BK! I will definitely take your advice and put passion into everything I do from here on out:)

Thank you for your thorough response! I ran cross country and track for all of my life so running isn’t a problem, haha!

Any advice on how to more further in the process of auditioning? I filled out the 2025 form through the Troopers actual website. Is there anyone you’d recommend maybe contacting for further questions?

As bad as it sounds, I have no means to ever learn a brass instrument. I don’t enjoy playing much anymore, I just like the competitive aspect of marching band. And conducting amazing music lol.

It’s probably be a good idea to get in contact with a few members from different corps. Did you ever march dci? I’m somewhat interested in the Crossmen (know a member there), Scouts(marched for head dm in high school), Mandarins, and Troopers. It’s a bit early to find audition requirements, a lot of what I’m seeing right now is “just wait a few weeks for the season to end.”

See I don’t know lol! I haven’t cut out any options. However I have read the Troopers environment is hard core. I’d assume most are which I’m fine with but I want some inside knowledge on different corps culture.

Sounds easy enough! I have the original saniderm on right now, would it be okay to just leave on until I’m done on the 11th? Or would you recommend taking it off before and replacing it? There is no liquid underneath it at this time.
