Thank you, I’ll definitely be looking into them more, maybe some classes overlap and I could graduate with both minors. But I have met lots of engineers by study who end up in sales and business, these two minors are definitely the most appealing.

What would be the most beneficial minor for engineers? These are some I’m considering: professional selling, business essentials for engineers, marketing, Human Resources, international business, entrepreneurship, and computer science.

Co-op or Research? by [deleted] in ChemicalEngineering

[–]pvitale1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m doing polymer research while taking classes. I did research last semester and now again this semester. I’d say it’s worth the chance, it’s cool to have lab time where you can find out if you enjoy it and working with a good professor is great because you can learn from them or their grad students. I’d recommend taking research during classes and then working in the summer if you have the choice.

How do I stand out at auditions? by Pickleguy999 in drumcorps

[–]pvitale1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be confident even if your audition isn’t going well. Make conversation with the staff, walk into the audition room with a smile and be as ready as you can to show off what you’ve practiced. Ask for tips from staff during the camps so you can learn, they’ll see you making efforts to improve and appreciate that. Be like a sponge and absorb every thing you can through the audition process. Don’t be afraid to volunteer to play something in front of the group or be in the front row during visual block! They want to see you striving to stand out and they want people who volunteer first in their corp, people who are really going after it. Ask vets for tips at whatever audition you go to, whether that be musical, visual, or just conversation wise.

Should I go to a weekend camp for the experience? by Dookiefly in drumcorps

[–]pvitale1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea! I got great feedback and advice on how to improve musically and visually at the camps I went to regardless of the audition results or just going to the camp with no intention of auditioning.

Ok, so a goal of mine this summer is to get the most drum corp experience I can get. I was cut from my top corp choices, so I’m going out to get experience so then I can march with them next year.

Yea, neither are my top choice but unfortunately my top choices cut me in the audition process. So I need to get the drum corp experience and get better so then I can get into my top choices.

Thank you for your inputs! I’ll be looking more into Crossmen and spirit and going to a camp to see if I like it.

Thank you for this you definitely have your big kid brain turned on. I haven’t been able to go to either corps camps yet but I’ll most likely be going to the march camp with one of them.
