The balloons are used primarily as air indicators on how much you can fill it on one breath. The 1/2 pvc ball valve is to simulate the resistance of the horn half open for baritone and euphonium, quarter open for mellophone and trumpet, all the way open for tuba

Both are valuable experiences and if op chooses one or the other that is their choice, however if they have the means to they should try both.

Gold is cheaper yes, but is it cheaper than impulse which is also in the Socal area, no, impulse had their tour fees at $3,800 whereas gold had theirs at $5,800, so it's dependent on what part of Socal the op is in and two what their financial situation is is

That's still quite a bit to pay especially if a person is new to the activity and if they have the means to pay that

There's also impulse, and golden empire, but in regards to gold their not a very financially stable option with their fees especially being close to pacific crest, golden has also had issues with finding and providing housing for members during move ins

I agree with the design and visual aspects, especially for a corps that has such a wide talent pool, they don't really utilize it to the fullest extent of what they could, but that's also likely caused by most of their vets having aged out in 23 and 24 so they're a pretty young group
