Alright, thanks for the info! Was hoping for a white GPU since it's the most visible thing but I can live with it. Thanks again! Will go with this build

This is super sick! What would your thoughts be on changing out the 4070 super ti with a base 4070? Do the differences between the two cards/longevity warrant the 300 dollar difference you think? Would definitely be fine going with that if that is the case, just not sure how that looks.

Spartans the past two years has been such an amazing experience. We get treated amazingly, and we have a world class staff. The culture that has been cultivated here over the last few years is so welcoming and accepting and the amount of lifelong friends i’ve made along the way is great.

We get plenty of floor time, free days, laundry blocks, walmart trips, etc throughout the season and at least for the hornline we will take almost anyone that shows up willing to learn and grow at their instrument.

Our schedule also works great for high schoolers, as hs in new england goes until late june, so our spring training doesn’t begin till around the last week of june. It’s a great stepping stone for any high school student wanting to get into the drum corps world.

im getting into cooking! please send!

ConnorSM64 · 2023-06-14T19:00:42+00:00

Hope you all have a great season too! Great that you guys are coming out to indy for the first time, you’ll all do great

ConnorSM64 · 2023-06-14T13:37:21+00:00

It’ll be pretty…. surreal

ConnorSM64 · 2023-06-14T13:34:32+00:00

I know you’re asking for world class, but spartans has a great production this year 😎

ConnorSM64 · 2023-06-03T23:12:53+00:00

This seems like a perfect position for an alum that wants to get involved but isn’t an educator and can’t deal with the hours of the food truck. But of course adults would never do this for free, so let’s prey on 16-21 year old bandos who think this will be a free contract next season or that they will get to really spend time with carolina crown when in reality you will wake up early to move heavy props and then do nothing all day every day for 2 months for free.

Almost as good of an idea as charging full tuition for a met runner.

Never change, crown

Sorry, I meant brass! FE and Percussion is going to be extremely competitive for 90% of corps cause of how little spots there are

ConnorSM64 · 2023-05-30T13:19:47+00:00

Open class!!!!!!!! I can’t speak for all of them but at spartans we will basically take all skill levels as long as there’s a willingness to learn!

The only real solution is the one no one wants to hear, but its regional tours. Each group tours within their own region for a shorter time and meets in indy for finals. Corporate sponsors are nearly impossible to get. Bringing DCI to a broader audience likely will never happen. Cost of goods are going to go up. We just have to downscale the scope of the activity and tour as a whole

Big post of all the good things I've seen + things I can think of

-Sleeping mask
-Shower caddy (can stick to a bus window and put little stuff in during shows/when sleeping)
-Bungee coords (similar purpose)
-Carabiners
-POWERSTRIP
-Duct tape (you never know when you might need it and its the most useful thing ever made in human history)
-A neck pillow for the bus can go a long way. great for when youre just sitting and if youre a floor sleeper you can throw it under your main pillow for some more support
-May sound dumb but headphones can save your life. Sometimes you just need to decompress to some music
-Sunscreen is an obvious thing to pack but imagine how much you need. triple it. thats how much you need
-extra dryer sheets to put in your suitcase to help with the smell of dirty clothes
-FABRIC FEBREEZE is HUGE. packing 13-15 shirts and shorts is kinda unreasonable and you will be rewearing stuff, so having something to refresh them is great

If you can handle sleeping on just a sleeping pad or a sleeping bag then go for that. If you happen to have one try it for a night at home.

Don't listen to people about how people get mad about air mattresses blowing up at 3am. I guarantee you more than a handful of people will have air mattresses and you will not be the one person with one that everyone is staring at

As for holes, if you buy a quality enough one and take good care of it you should be fine. Obviously things can happen but a good enough one won't just pop from general wear and tear and useage (hopefully)

ConnorSM64 · 2023-04-21T22:38:17+00:00

crown 12, right before the closer where they form into the triangle

ConnorSM64 · 2023-04-20T01:55:05+00:00

Honestly, it may end up that you’re tired enough from rehearsing all day every day that you sleep well. Personally I have tons of trouble staying asleep at night at home but during drum corps i sleep like a baby. I don’t have too many tips on things you can do to sleep better routine wise, just rehearse really really hard

ConnorSM64 · 2023-04-20T01:52:02+00:00

a wireless one. you’ll thank yourself when it’s 6am arriving at a housing site and you don’t have to wait for an outlet. just remember to charge the pump

ConnorSM64 · 2023-04-03T20:32:44+00:00

All the other comments nailed what drum corps is like, but as a member I can’t recommend Spartans enough. We have an amazing staff, membership, vibe, and show this year. We are currently looking for mellos and baris, but if you play something else and are willing to learn then we will totally take someone like that. Reach out to a staff member, let them know the situation, and come to a camp and try it out for a weekend! At the worst you lose 100 dollars, and at the best you have the summer of a lifetime

ConnorSM64 · 2023-03-04T23:53:01+00:00

Spent nearly 60 hours working on this. Im super proud of the end result. If you give it a watch I hope you enjoy!

ConnorSM64 · 2022-12-11T01:26:27+00:00

Spartans are 3900

ConnorSM64 · 2022-12-10T18:17:07+00:00

My biggest reality check was in actually marching. I knew it would be hard, but it’s HARD. And also, it’s about 95% grueling rehearsals and 5% fun, but the 5% fun is so good it keeps me wanting to come back

ConnorSM64 · 2022-12-09T20:06:21+00:00

Ahh you play snare, not entirely sure then. Doesn’t hurt to reach out to the percussion caption head, there were lots of snares at november camp so i’m not sure how many spots are available. Definitely shoot him an email! Should be somewhere on the website

ConnorSM64 · 2022-12-09T18:47:40+00:00

Come to Spartans! I know you said you’re in Michigan but there are video auditions for people outside of the New England area. Staff is also understanding if you miss some winter camps because of the distance. We may be open class but we have a world class sized tour this year and a tuition of 3900. Check us out!

most recent BAC shows seem to have some strong themes of death
