  1. I have an extra ticket for both nights in Section Q (top stands, side 2), Row 17. PM me to discuss payment and how you would want to receive the tickets. I can have them overnighted to you if need be.
  2. Thanks for everyone help! I have figured out how I'm getting to the camps and everything is all set for me to audition for Crown's upcoming season. Money is still an issue but it has become less of an issue. I have created a fundraising /support/about me website, www.mattsfundraising.com , so I can let people know what I am up to and make it easy to donate. I will be using the money from the donations to pay for my plane flights to Crowns camps. I don't have the entire website up, but I will have it up within the next two weeks. Thanks.
  3. Thanks for the info I will contact Matt after their season is over. I will be trying my best to get two jobs and using my trumpet skills to generate extra cash as much as possible. I agree with everything you said and thanks again for the response.
  4. I completely agree but what about the extra full day of practice Crown and SCV got wile BD/cadets/cavs were at allentown. The judges base their scores off the other night, but they had one full day more of rehersals right. Id say it would only be about half a point lower (in my opinion) if crown and scv went july 31st. I do think it is going to be very close between now and aug 8th.
  5. Alright so yes plattsburgh to albany is a 3 hr drive given moderate driving conditions. So lets assume I leave at about 8am. therfore i should get to albany at approximately 11:00am. This would leave me an 1 hr and 45 min to get through security and get ready to leave. I looked up the times of when the flight leaves and this is what i found: Airline: US Airways Depart: Albany International Airport Departure Time: 14:45, Friday 20 November 2009 Arrive: Charlotte Arrival Time: 16:55, Friday 20 November 2009 Stops: Non-Stop Travel Time: 2hrs 10mins http://www.albanyairport.com/alb_schedules.php This would get me to Charlette NC by 4:55. then crown will have transportation from there to camp. I haven't figured out a way back but im working on it. let me know what you think so far. I know its a stretch, but i have to do it some how. I have decided that I will not be able to do the upcoming season with crown, but i will still go to the first camp to get myself out there and to see where I stand marching and playing wise. I will work toward the next season and will look for another corp to join as well. and again let me know what you think. thanks.
  6. I had forgotten that i was in the middle of nowhere but figured out that i can get a ride to albany and fly out from there.
  7. thank you that was one of the things i was looking for. thanks for the help.
  8. I have not yet talked to any at crown, but I do plan to when their session is over. I don't know what to say to them about the situation. Do you know specifically who I should contact?
  9. Yes I was in the AMB and I know the kids that are in brigs and they enjoy it. I dont know if I would as much. I also know your friend and have talked to him a little, but won't get to talk with him more until his season is over. He recommended that I do a DCA corp, but i decided not because of time and money(although it is less then crown). Thanks for the suggestion.
  10. Do you mean like send a letter asking for money for the purpose of joining the drum corp? And maybe mail a dvd of a drum corp show, so that they could see what its all about? I think is a good idea I might just try that. Thanks for the suggestion.
  11. I realize that most high school band directors are like that, but at my school all of the band directors are have marched in a corp, written music for corps, and/or are judges. I know the backgrounds of most of my former directors fairly well and trust them and their opinions. It will take some time for me to see how things work out, but I will work it out.
  12. Alright I will look into it, but my goal is still going to be Crown.
