Very nice production video! Best of luck this season!

Brass and drums could be heard throughout Raleigh this weekend as Platinum is wrapping up another successful camp, with %75 Percent of the show on the field! However, we could still use mellophones or front ensemble members (or anyone who has sat out and doesn't have somewhere to march), so if you think that there's no a chance to march this summer, or want to and think you don't have enough money, you are wrong! Email us if you have any questions. We want to provide you with an amazing opportunity, so don't miss out! For more information contact: Platinum.indoor@gmail.org

Raleigh, NC (May 9th, 2010): Platinum Drum and Bugle Corps is thrilled to announce its DCI debut for the 2010 season in Open Class competition. This comes after much awaited news from our DCI evaluation that took place in April. Things were looking good for Platinum as we just got the word in from DCI that we have been accepted! The drum and bugle corps will participate in DCI events throughout the summer, and will feature a full horn line, percussion section, and colorguard. A more tentative tour schedule is now being completed and will be up soon so that all of our fans (or soon to be fans ;)) can come see what we are all about this summer. With evaluation completed, staff and members continue to chart ahead, memorizing the the rest of the show and continuing to put drill on the field. Platinum's next camp will be held on May 28-30, 2010. For possible members who were still interested in possibly marching with Platinum, time has not run out for you yet! During the month of May, Platinum is still accepting membership applications from qualified musicians, especially those who have any experience in Mellophone. Simply email us at Platinum.indoor@gmail.com for more information. Then bring a completed packet to any of our scheduled rehearsals, and we will show you what Platinum can offer you. (See Website for details) We here at Platinum recognize that the challenges to march in a competitive drum corps are difficult, and we know you are just as concerned about your wallet as you are about the quality of your Drum Corps experience. That is why we have put together a top-quality program at the lowest possible prices. Be on the lookout for any further announcements, such as the revealing of our show concept for the 2010 season.

Platinum is currently hosting its 4th camp of the year in Raleigh, NC. If you haven't found somewhere to march and are still looking/interested, we ask that you come give us a try! Our brass and percussion are hard at work, playing through show music for the upcoming season, (pending DCI approval). So if you haven't made up your mind yet, we're here until 5:00 pm on Sunday, at: Raleigh Girls Club 701 N. Raleigh Blvd. Raleigh, NC

We appreciate your list. I'd love to see us in finals, so for you of age people who aren't marching, would you rather be possibly sitting last place in finals, or sitting on the couch in august?

Platinum came through again with another successful camp this weekend. We brought in several new members, and continued to forge ahead with our visual and music program. Spots are still open, however, so spread the word, and be sure to visit www.platinumindoor.org for more information on upcoming camps. Also for those of you who are curious, we are still awaiting our evaluation from DCI so exciting things are in our future!

Same general area yes, but staff or anything else for that matter isn't related to them. :)

Open house went VERY well. Prospective members ventured out with the chance of the snow storm to audition and them as well as the staff was very pleased with the turnout.

For those of you who are curious, Platinum Drum & Bugle Corps will soon be announcing staff positions as well as our 2010 show announcement. In the meantime, stay in touch with our website, and our Open House will be held on December 18th, 2009 in the Raleigh, NC area. Happy holidays from everyone here at Platinum!

We've been currently doing mass amounts of recruiting in the NC, SC and Virgina area, and it is pulling in some numbers so we will continue to forge ahead!

That picture is from our Indoor year. As far as for this year, wouldn't want to give too much away just yet now would we? ;)

This is for 2010 Drum Corps Season, so go ahead and register.

As of now that specific question has no definite answer. Should we receive very qualified candidates for a cymbal line, we can look further into that. ^ That's a fancy way of saying..come to open house.

Ah yes, Platinum began as a humble indoor brass ensemble. (some of these type ensembles are more popular up north) But we are beginning to expand our base into the Drum Corps circuit, more specifically Open Class as stated early. Thanks for the questions, and glad I could clear them up for you!
