QuadraticBeats Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 As far as my prospects go, there's two people in my band so far who have gone out of their way to tell me that I should audition for Cavvies after I said I didn't really know who I wanted to audition for (after they asked me if I was going to try out for any corps for next year). As for my prospects of actually MAKING their line, or anybody else of that level, I don't really know nor care. The thing that matters more is the development of the skills towards the ends of making the cut and doing one's personal best, with attention to detail and proper techniques and approaches. Other corps I'm interested in are- The Blue Devils (video) SCV (video and audition if they think I should, as per their description on their site) Bluecoats (McIntosh's work over there is amazing) I like Phantom, but I'm not sure if they're having a camp in texas for percussion... Cadets would be nice also, though I'm not really going out of my way to audition for them. Barring those high(er)-end corps... probably Crossmen or some other good Division I with an accessible camp. Instructors are more important than the corps itself as far as personal development of your skills goes. Thus, why Academy would be my top choice for a Division II (if they stay). Unfortunately, we can only audition for a few of these... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G'townPIT Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Cadets would be nice also, though I'm not really going out of my way to audition for them. Yeah the cadets had a 6 man tenor line this year, that's the most I've ever seen. They did have that sweet drum break in their show too.

Madison scouts '96 had 8 or 9 tenors, I can't remember which. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinHorn Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Madison scouts '96 had 8 or 9 tenors, I can't remember which. Also in '98 in the second movement. Sucks that Phantom doesn't have a camp down here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EODrillDesigner98 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Good Luck to everyone who will be auditioning for corps this upcoming season and hope to see some of you guys in SoCal for DCI World Championships week. I hope to be marching with SF Renegades and also be teaching corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TX Suh-nare Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 For y'all trying out for Cavies, beware. They're possibly going to Europe, so be willing to pay a LOT of money for entry fees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 For y'all trying out for Cavies, beware. They're possibly going to Europe, so be willing to pay a LOT of money for entry fees So worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuadraticBeats Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 SCV (video and audition if they think I should, as per their description on their site) Thank the drum corps deities for the November 12th Auditions. Now, if only they would inspire Mike Pearson to finish his exercise packet... It's weird, I know... but I don't see you trying anything .

Lustra.exe Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Its spelled Bluecoats. thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HashBrownJM Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I hear that Phantom, Cavies, and I think Blue Coats are coming down here sometime. If I had my choice, probably Blue Coats because I really enjoy their shows for some reason. Then second would be Cavies, then Phantom. If not that, then I would probably try for SCV if I could. I do want to try out for Revolution though since I am sure I won't make a division 1 my first year. In addition to that, I would either be playing melo or baritone because I don't shine so much as a trumpet player during marching season as I do concert season. As far as I know, the Cavies are coming twice, the Bluecoats probably twice, no info. on Phantom. Phantom: - November 24-26, 2006 AUDITION CAMP * Huntley High School - Huntley, IL Bluecoats: - November 18-19, 2006 AUDITION CAMP * Guyer High School - Denton, TX Cavies: - November 17-19, 2006 AUDITION CAMP * Waller High School - Waller, TX As for who I'm trying out for: Blue Devils, SCV, Bluecoats, Crossmen. In that order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VRHSRangerTBone Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 SVC auditions are in Cedar Park on November 12 at Cedar Park HS. I wouldn't necessarily do the corps this year if I make it because I want to have a summer to transition between high school and college, but I would love to do it in a couple of years. Two of our assistants have connections with corps (Phantom and Cavies), so those would be my top choices. Now that the Crossmen are in San Antonio, they would probably be a good "fall back" corp. They may get to be really good in a couple of years now that they're in Texas though since we all know that Texas is a great state for marching band.

They're possibly going to Europe, so be willing to pay a LOT of money for entry fees I'm not trying to benit-picly, but before warning people that Cavaliers go to Europe, make sure the organization even hints on it, instead of reading a rumor on DCP. There has been no credible information as to if they are even leaving the US or not. -Conner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRtrumpet Posted October 10, 2006 Author Share Posted October 10, 2006 Meh... I decided to wait another year for DCI. Next year I'm almost 100% sure I'll try to the Crossmen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
