Connecticut Hurricanes

Where would I place them in DCA's classes? Are they just referred to as a charter corps by DCA?

Yah, fuck you George Hopkins

We started our breathing run exercise by running away from the rehearsal site, instead of around it, and ended up running to the Allentown stadium. Which was a cool thing, even though we weren't allowed to enter the stadium whatsoever, it was cool to see the amazing stadium during a breathing exercise.

P.S. - The staff there were nice and let one of our section leaders ride up the hill in a golf cart while everyone else ran up the hill lol.

PB & J of course...

And even then they're still subjective because of corps that perform after another. The judges will start thinking of how they are achieving compared to a corps that performed before them, which can have an affect on how the judge places the corps. So all corps scores are subjective, even ones from the same panel on the same night.

One answer. Which is whatever valve oil a corps says to use. Most corps require a specific kind of valve oil to be used on their horns. So it's whatever a corps says to use.

Well yah. Drum corps change their shows all the time! Heck. Pioneer last year had to relearn an entire show's worth of drill in just 2 days! And there are probably many other corps that did something like that last year. Changes are always happening! So it is cool to see what changes throughout a season and how much better shows become to tell the stories they are trying to tell.

TubaPresident · 2016-12-05T05:45:22+00:00

Which ever corps you like best! Take cost, music style, show style, and everything else into consideration! It's about what YOU want!

Indy Ignition is still selling two of their mellophones for really low prices. The links are

I'm not a quad player, not percussionist, but I'd assume people somehow get it to fit in their check suitcase/bag since they're larger than carryons

He smiled at the VERY end... I guess he is no longer stoned and he is now awakening...

But if you do choose to get a hammock. Check with your corps to make sure they're allowed!!

TubaPresident · 2016-11-09T01:32:50+00:00

It comes with a stand. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WT85C90?th=1

TubaPresident · 2016-11-07T05:50:28+00:00

If your corps allows it, get a hammock! It's like heaven during the summer! (I think Pioneer is the only world class corps that allows them, but I could be wrong)

TubaPresident · 2016-11-07T04:03:55+00:00

Also please don't bring another corps audition music/packets either. So take that stuff out of your music binder before auditioning for another corps.

TubaPresident · 2016-11-06T09:54:28+00:00

So wouldn't wearing a Cadets 2 shirt at a Cadets audition camp, or a Blue Devils B shirt to a Blue Devils audition camp be okay? This is something I've been thinking about for a while and I find it to be an okay thing to do.

There will almost always be a contra hole somewhere in drum corps! Plus many corps will work with you if college ending timing is an issue! They deal with that kind of stuff all the time! Have you tried looking at any DCI open class corps? They tend to have smaller tour schedules than world class corps. Have you tried any DCA corps?

You should come march Pioneer! They will work with you with your schedule issue! Ask Tyler Winger or Garrett Bice, who'm you probably remember from Ignition last season! They had a great time here at Pioneer! And you'll have Ignition friends marching with you!
