  1. I joined Spirit at their last camp and then came to move ins as an alternate because they had already set their hornline. My tour fees were $600 (I think, and my grandparents paid for it as a graduation present) due to joining so late, spots were filled, and I was an extra. At the second or third week of move ins, a kid quit and I got his spot in the line. I recommend doing something to be involved, especially since you have some marching experience. You can try emailing the caption heads and ask if there's a spot open for an alternate or give them your info in case someone quits and they need to call someone in. As an alternate you do everything except perform at shows. The plus is getting a music education, physical fitness, housing, food, seeing the US through your window.
  2. I donated to djdrumcorps and would like to share my receipt to help you match price
  3. there are quite a bit who work at disneyland/world.
  4. not like this isn't the first time a dvd performance has been edited.
  5. So I work at a movie theater and we just showed Dirty Dancing. There's no reel for that- it's satellite so we wouldn't have control over something like an interruption. Just start and stop. With reels, there's no rewinding to replay a scene or if something happened in the film- it might be the film and not the projector. It is required for an employee to screen each movie that is sent in, in order to make sure there is nothing wrong with the film. Unless they fell asleep, they're supposed to report anything wrong during the screening. Customer service? Do you realize how many patrons suggest things each day (like sound, screen off center, temperature, etc.) that are actually fixed? All of them if we can. Things like temperature- it's cold so that when the theatre is packed, it is not hot; the temperature may be warmer than freezing. Working there, we go out on a limb for customers; AMC has the highest rating for customer service. (Most of the theatres hosting the countdown were Regal) Also, managers aren't always offering freebies to everything. That makes the company lose money. If you really put up a fight, then as a last resort we'll give you a Re-admit pass. If you're in a long line, they wouldn't give you a candy bar for grief. To pay too much, it's not decided by the theatre. It's the company; no affiliation with the theatre besides where the movie is being played. If you look at other special events in theatres like dirty dancing, the opera, Dale Earnhardt, they all had a different price than regular tickets. Lastly, why would a manager lie about something such as an interruption in a movie? They would be losing customers and it wouldn't solve anything. Even though the interruption in your theater shouldn't have happened, there's not always one person to blame.
