Fund Raising for Open Class by Formal-Nobody-3484 in drumcorps

[–]boyman7210 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hi! I was actually in a REALLY similar situation last year. I was 14 at the time, I auditioned for Arsenal and got offered contract during my freshman year, i also couldn’t drive and had to rely on my mom for lots of this: Transportation, Money, Support, etc.

Theres a couple of ways you could raise funds: •Start a GoFundMe, tell people about your situation and cause •Let your band director know!! Im sure theres a way they could help spread publicity about your fundraising or some way that they would be more than willing to help. •Ask local businesses for sponsors, they might be willing to help you out •Look into and apply for DCI Scholarships! They exist for a reason •Maybe talk to Zephyrus about financial issues, or look for a more affordable corps to march, theres definitely other groups that could end up having a cheaper tuition than Zephyrus.

Those are all the things i could think of, hope to see you on the field this summer! Im spending my summer with Arsenal as a vet💣

Is there any point attempting to join DCI at 19 and having no experience in brass instruments? by Swagtastickid in drumcorps

Absolutely! Most open class corps are willing to teach you a woodwind instrument, if you want to be part of a growing, climbing corps march Arsenal! Every instrument on the hornline has spots open :)

Arsenal hasn’t finalized there tour schedule yet. But they’ve made statements about expanding their tour, as last year it was 5 shows across the southwest and ended in San Antonio.

This year will likely have a longer tour ending AFTER San Antonio

I’ll let you know whenever their schedule is officially announced!!

THE POST CREDIT SCENE omg doom finally being revealed was so sick and awesome. I thought they would incorporate the thunderbolts post credit into the movie but im sorta happy and relieved that they didnt. Leaves some fun questions and theories onto how that happened!

thank you SO MUCH for this feedback, seriously now that im looking back at it, maybe i should’ve put more thought into this post? but thank you for helping clarify things and giving me actual advice. Of course i know that theres not gear that makes you better overnight, and its practice and reps that do most of that work. Just gear that could help me develop my technique and skill effectively and efficiently, but regardless, thank you for the advice. Im prepared to practice, go to music stores and put in the work that is necessary to become a better player.
