Moose Posted November 28, 2006 Posted November 28, 2006 While the turnout for Crossmen brass and guard was not at all dissapointing(way more than last years audition camp, and one of the highest in DCI division 1), It would be awsome if the number that came for percussion( about 200) was the same number for brass and guard. COME TO THE NEXT CAMP! ITS NOT TOO LATE! Trust me, I am a crossmen alumni. We had more people for PERCUSSION at this camp then the entire corps turnout for 2005 and 2006 auditions. That is why the corps moved to Texas. The staff is fantastic. This corps will be good. The show may be annonced at the next camp. So show DCI what texas is all about and come to the next crossmen audition camp, December 15-17 in San Antonio at Ronald Reagan. RSVP to Megh@yea.org . Just tell her your coming. The talent level at this last camp was phenomenal. Make it even better. Quote
Moose Posted December 1, 2006 Author Posted December 1, 2006 Reports that the crossmen had one of the best audition turnouts in Division 1! GO TEXAS! Be a part of history... www.yea.org/crossmen Quote
TX Suh-nare Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 Well, when you have 76 snares and 40+ tenors auditioning, any corps would have the best turnout ever. Quote
hhsquadguy Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 I play battery percussion and I didn't go to the 1st camp. Would it be possible to attend the 2nd camp? Or am I too late? Quote
Trumpeter07 Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 so wait. Brass can still tryout? like for lead spots? Quote
txsweetheart183 Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 that camp was crazy.. but fun .. lots and lots of percussionists Quote
Disappearer221 Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 There were only 2 people from the Reagan Drumline there actually... Alot of the best programs in Texas each had a handful of players there though. The level of instruction these kids recieve at their high school programs compared to many other states is going to be one of the things that really makes the Crossmen special this year. In my opinion, there was enough talent at the first camp to make 3 entire amazing battery sections. Quote

"STRONG talent level, many performers coming from University of Houston and Texas Tech drumlines; overall, the drummers were a lot older than the horn players" Quote

Moose Posted December 3, 2006 Author Posted December 3, 2006 To answer everyones questions.... YES! you can still try out. The crossmen are looking for the best performers period, not just the best that weren't busy thanksgiving weekend. Just RSVP at the next camp, and they will be happy to see you there. When all else is gone... only the BONES remain... Quote

bacara Posted December 3, 2006 Posted December 3, 2006 yea but these kids were reaaaaally young, i was there and it looked like most of them were sophmores in high school, with a very small number in college. Quote
xbones7480 Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 December 15-17 Crossmen are Back! Come to the first full camp at Ronald Reagan HS this Friday. Crossmen are still accepting applications. Don't miss out on this Historical Event! http://www.yea.org/site/PageServer?pagename=joincrossmen TEXAS JUST GOT BIGGER!!!! Quote
