If you cannot march a DCI corps this summer, there is another option: DCA/All age corps. There are now 3 DCA drum & bugle corps in Texas. All-age corps require less time (generally 2 weekends a month) and money than DCI corps, but the educational value is quite comparable.

 

For example, a 2 year vet of the Frontier brassline is likely about to become the youngest member of Madison Scouts this season. He's 15. He had no marching experience (he doesn't march in his high school band), so he knew nothing about marching/playing before Frontier.

 

DCA/All age corps are definitely something to check out.

 

Austin Stars, in Austin (www.austinstars.org)

Gulf Coast Sound, in Houston (www.gulfcoastsound.org)

Frontier, in Dallas (www.frontiercorps.org)

 

 

Frontier's next rehearsal is December 16th (location TBA--check the website soon.) Check the other corps websites too.

i made it too.. but i dont know how to get there.. =/

Do you mean you don't know where it is our you can't afford to fly?

I talked to the director about an alternate form of transportation (I can't really afford to fly right now) and he said their visual tech lives in Chorpus Christi and would be happy to pick people up in the corps van on the way. Thats if you don't mind driving a very long distance.

 

Just e-mail the corps director about it

Next problem is getting it through my moms head that I can handle driving with a bunch of strangers. She's completely against me going right now. I am trying to find a way.

Well, its one of the staff members thats driving. Gino (not sure if percussion worked with him at all) the visual tech, is gonna get a corps van and pick up people on the way. So a responsible adult will be driving
