Exactly, I mean, the scores are great and everything, but I caremore about the performances then numbers and ranking.

Haha, I'll be at the show and I'm definatly looking forward to that tonight. May come back again tomorrow, as well.

An email has been composed, all I've got to do is substitute a few names for the various corps and I'm set. I'll send them later tonight or tomorrow, because I am pressed for time right now, however.

Meh, spelling....

Alright. I wasn't sure when additions would be, for all I know they could be coming around in September already. But, I see I've still got some time.

Alright, thanks guys. Took a look at the websites for all three corps (Surf, Raiders, Spirit) in an attempt to find out about tryout information. None of them had this sort of stuff posted. Well, they did, but it was all last years information/material and did not have updated dates for the 2007 season. Should I email a director or somone of importance listed on site for that information, or am I just jumping the gun and will that information be posted shortly?

Thanks, yeh I was not looking for a Division I corps, definatly not looking for that. While that would be great and all, I understand that I have no chance of being a part of that, not now at least. And, I'm gonna go out for snare, but if I end up playing tenors and bass I'll be happy as well.

Haha, yeh I know the Cadets are in Allentown, but I'm talking about a drum corp that a first time corp member could actualy even consider making..... And, attitude is no problem.

Yeh, I figure I'll go out for both snare and bass. Snare is a real competitive part, and so I realize it's foolish to only go in trying to get on snare.

Alright. What about corps in/around Allentown, PA? I know that's where they hold the DCI Classics, so there are probably some smaller corps around Allentown, right?

Well, yeh after playing in the high school marching band I realize snare isn't easy to get. And, so I'll definatly put in some practice. Took a look at the raiders and jersey surf audition materials a while ago, and if I remember correct, it wasn't too difficult, but I'm sure they're gonna want lightning speed and precision out of me. Any word on how these corps perform and which will be most/least competitive, ect?

Hey all. I'm a new member, ect, ect. I'm a junior at North Hunterdon High School (which is located in Clinton, New Jersey) and am playing snare drum for my second year. But, as I'm sure many drummers have felt at one time or another, they love being a part of the band, but don't find enough challange and enough skill in high school. I'm not the most amazing drummer, but I aint bad. I guess having to do a "swing" show this year kind of put me over the edge. When you can sight read the music, you know that's bad. I decided I'd like to join a drum corp in order to best settle those complaints. However, I'm sort of lost in a sea of information. Could any of you let me know about any drum corps located near (within an hour or so driving distance) Clinton, New Jersey. Thanks a bunch.
