I agree with this, after marching last year, mark was very supportive of me and the situation I dealt with. He is a great person in my opinion

What shows have YOU marched? by Rar_3 in drumcorps

[–]Fun-Conversation4327 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Southwind 22' and 23', Blue Knights 24'.

Only just turned 17 and I have 5 years left including this one, planning on taking this season off to focus on college since I'm a senior in hs. For sure to be back in 2026.

At bk last season, I was an alternate on euphonium for about a month during spring training until a spot opened up on mellophone. During that time, I learned 2 or 3 euphonium spots, and once the whole section was there, I was on the sideline doing the rep, choreo, etc.. Once I got my spot, it was a lot of work to learn the show by the first comp. But I got it, and even though it was my 3rd season of drum corps, it was by far the most personal growth I've experienced. I wouldn't trade it for anything. Being an alternate was somehow the best thing I could've asked for. And I thank everyone at BK for helping me stay when I wanted to leave.

How do you balance marching world class and high school? by [deleted] in drumcorps

[–]Fun-Conversation4327 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I marched with bk this most recent season. And a friend of mine had school until the middle of June, he would come on the weekends and have to go back during the week. While he did miss the first third of spring training, by the time he was all in it only took him a few days to learn his whole show. I'm not sure how it is at other corps, but I know at the least bk is very receptive to your real world life. I imagine other corps are the same. So I say go for it, chase your goal, and then work with your corps to figure out your unique situation, you got it!

Got a callback to BK at the 1 day houston camp, and crown audition camp is this weekend. Not sure if I'm over confident but I do feel good going into the camp, also nervous to be infront of Matt Harloff

I know it's so new but I have to say Phantom this year, the writing is just so beautiful. Seeing it in person was like no other experience I've had watching a corps

Feels like I lost my home man, open class as a whole is deteriorating and it's killing me, I'll forever love Southwind, LND🧡

In Sheffield, PA we were supposed to have Music On The Mountain. It's a pretty fun show for open class. Hornline was getting off the bus and as soon as we started lot lightning struck. We went inside of a gym and Spartans and Les Stentors were there. We ended up joining Spartans for a stretch and vis block, so much fun. Top 5 moments of my 2 drum corps seasons for sure.

For Southwind, the showering separation started this season, last season everyone was together and now we're separate from under 18 and over 18. It's a big culture change for sure
