You can totally march! We had like 6-8 age outs last season. The age suggestion is misleading.

From my experience its just a matter of practicing them. Do lots of "compound slurs" (jumping around through multiple partials. i.e. low Bb - middle Bb - F - D kind of thing) I'm a tuba player so I'm talking concert pitch but the same principle applies. I've been in the same position as you, the only way to get better is to practice your face off.

Hi I'm Ryan. I'm fairly new to DCP and want to introduce myself. I'll be marching the 2013 season with the Santa Clara Vanguard Cadets, being my first year in drum corps. TUBA
