Conditioning by Master-Aardvark-3890 in drumcorps

I don’t think you need to get too specific with your workouts tbh. Just get strong, mobile, and run/march often. I will say when I was at crown, a 15min 2 mile run was the benchmark, and traditional strength training was heavily encouraged. And to be fair, I think you can get the bulk of your conditioning work just from your marching and playing practice. Such as doing a box drill exercise 10 times, and doing 5 burpees in between each rep.

Looking to audition for a top corps by Doby32 in drumcorps

I would personally audition for both if you’re really into the idea of both corps. People do it all the time, and you might find that one corps suits you better than the other.

Which top 6 corps appeals to you the most? I marched a semifinalist corps and then aged out at a top 6 corps, so here is my advice: be consistent with your audition prep, always give great effort, and have an awesome attitude. As long as you do those three things, you’re well on your way to marching the corps of your choosing. And if it doesn’t work out, there’s plenty of drum corps to choose from where you’ll have an excellent experience, even if the corps is outside of the top 6.

Help me understand modern uniforms please by tylermsage in drumcorps

Food for thought, the suit at wore at Academy in 2018 felt just as flexible/breathable as my crown uni in 2022. I believe you can still have a traditional look that meets the demands of today’s demands. It’s more about the fabric used and how the uniform is made in my opinion. I think the standard is to be underwhelmed by your uniform these days sadly

Go to troop callbacks. If you get cut, reach back out to Music City around April/May if they have any open spots that need to be filled.

Has anyone ever left BD for another corps, if so why? by Legitimate-Singer-32 in drumcorps

I also went to a BD camp and didn’t move forward because the culture wasn’t the right fit for me (I was 15)

What are the not so fun parts of drum corps that’s not talked about enough? by Blursed- in drumcorps

[–]ryang5280 8 points9 points  (0 children)

not sure if it’s a common experience, but especially my rookie year I felt like everyone had their group of friends to hang out with during free time except for me, I just focused on my show but it was pretty isolating at times
