It would be easier on bari most likely, but that does not mean you will not make lower trumpet. Work at what you want, and if you don't make it, try out somewhere else. The experience will be well worth it to march the corps you want later, or you may even decide you want to stay with your family. I have a friend who was not planning on trying out intil I talked him into it. His primary is clarinet, and he had been learning mello a few months before. He didn't do as well as he thought he would when he did audition on mello and decided to try out on trumpet when there was a hole. He wound up doing much better as a 3rd trumpet than mello and is marching on sop again this year. Plus, if you're a great marcher that helps a lot too. Do what you want, and do it confidently.

Ive never been on a plane, but I heard there is an extra free for extra luggage weight. Any info on that?

Lol, too bad. I just didnt have the money this year. Loved it last yr though. I also just checked the site. They have 3 new members with 5 maybes. Guess Il email em.

Anyone know if there are still holes and what the show is? Asking bc I know corps sometimes pick up ppl and forget to update the site....

Yes, it does. Thanks! :)

Also, does anyone have a schedule of times? I need to make plans on whether or not I will need to get a hotel. Thanks!

Hey, can someone c/p the article? Everytime you go to their site they get money...and we dont want that. Plus, my cell isnt opening the page ;-)

Yeah, I really don't like that. I was hoping the time was just a typo... guess not

lol, I figured. I actually didn't think about corps offices though.

Thanks! :-)

I'm just curious, since drum corps do not actually stay in one place for too long or own rehearsal buildings and such, what happens to the accolades they receive throughout the season? I was just wondering mainly where the trophies stay in the off-season. Odd Q for right now in the season, I know, but I was just thinking about it.

Okay, so I'm going to say this first, I love Spirit and everything they do, BUT I will be the first to admit I was skeptical when I heard about this year's show. *again* BUT After watching a few rehearsals and seeing how far this corps has already come along this year, I have no doubts they will max this show to its full potential by August. Now, to the bass thing. Okay, so the bass was overpowering? It was the first show! Even though it was a standstill performance, it was still just the first show. Like every corps, they will take note of their mistakes, work on them, and make the show even better. In this case, lower the volume. I don't see the whole problem in having a bass. It goes greatly with the show. It sounds fine. The hornline still has plenty of melody and awesomeness. Don't worry so much.

I don't have any pics, but I've seen some cool stuff on DC-Eye of the carved DCI pumpkins, Delta-shaped Jello, dif corps unis frosted on gingerbread men, etc. I think when Xmen made their horn stack into a giant delta at finals one year for Spirit was really cool too.

I'll probably be going to watch their rehearsal sometime at the end of this week or next. Sounded fantastic at the picnic though. I really love where this show is headed.

I plan on going back to Spirit. I marched last year and, unfortunately, could not afford to return this year.
