  3. Careful with your money at the Orlando show. There is a gas station across from the stadium but it is a little scary. When the cashier is behind a steel frame and bulletproof glass you know you are in a rough neighborhood. Got an ice cream bar there that hit the spot though.

    Just another reason to not carry much cash and use a card. THere are ATM's everywhere now so its better to use those.

    HAH.. the guy in front of me in line tried to pay with a fake $5 bill, not even kiddding...

    My seat partner bought these at that gas station..hahahaha

  4. Ahhh, it was terrible. I felt like it was such a waste of time. I stood there 95% of rehearsal as the director would attempt to fix the woodwinds or try to add some move or something. It was nice hearing all of the "Wow! you're skinny/tan/good!" :tongue: It was really hot though, wearing clothes. I usually wore really tiny shorts, and it kinda made some girls mad...whatever. It took a long while getting used to dressing to blobs, not using our dot sheets, people playing out of tune, 109820398 different marching styles around me, NO BASICS block ?!?!, and really, really stupid staff. I mostly kept quiet, or reminisced with my fellow corps mates. It was a LONG marching season. :whistle:

  5. 1) BE CONFIDENT. My best friend told me how her guy friend tried out for Blue Devils, blew his playing audition..and they told him the only reason he made it was because he was so confident. and his confidence through out the season bled into his effort, and he became one of the top Euph players they had.

    2)DO AS THE VETS DO. They've already been through this stuff and marched many seasons. They know what's going on. Like someone else said, even if the rookies aren't, just do what the majority of vets are doing.

    3) DON'T APOLOGIZE. Don't be sorry for anything, just do it right next time. Just say "oh okay, thanks" when you get a correction, and then try to implement it.

    4) DON'T SAVE ANYTHING. Especially in visual/cardiovascular stuff. it's only 1 weekend. You'll be able to rest for a whole month when you get back, so don't save anything. Give it your all. This is your chance to show the staff you belong there.

    5)DON'T BE NERVOUS. Don't let nerves get to you. Take a few deep breaths before you go in. Practice up so you can be comfortable in your audition. Play for friends, family, and instructors to get the nerves out. Your audition is a performance, so perform. Also, drink alot of water the day before your audition and alot in the morning (be sure to go to the bathroom before though) because when you get nervous, you sweat and lose water. I always get thirsty when i'm nervous.

    hope i could help :)
