Just another little question... Do you guys think it would be more beneficial to try out for more than one corps, or just stick to one? Thanks again,

Alright! I'll let you know where this road takes me. I'm trying to find a corps I can march with until age outs. I'm not really looking to "jump around" much.

I mean, the top 6 were.... Clean. But during the bottom 6, the field was on fire. The stadium was electric.

I mean, my row (me included) were about to cry during the glassmen show. Prayer circle was incredible

I have to say, i was more entertained with the Glassmen's and madison's show this year than any corps in the top 5. Did anyone else feel this? I Was bored during most of the top 5 compared to the lower corps.

I have to give you guys props Madison, your show was my personal favorite.... So full of energy. But yea, by far, the best Madison show i've seen this decade. Haha.

That was a scary moment last night. But his determination to walk off the field with that was incredible. All my section saw, was him limping awkwardly with a judge trying to help him. But we only thought he fainted. Everyone up at section 642 offer all our prayers!

Thanks for the advice everyone! And I think i've whittled it down the glassmen and bluestars. And about DCA, I know who you are talking about, cincinatti tradition. One of my friends went to them for mello and they had a great experience. I'll consider it, but I would like to get a taste of a world class audition camp. Just to see what im getting into, but again, thanks for the advice!

Hey everybody, I have had a hard time deciding where to audition this November. Here is a run down of my situation... I'm 16, and I play trumpet. I've been playing trumpet for about 6 years and I've been marching for about 3. I have a lot of experience with many different bands, and I play lead in jazz, orchestras and my marching band. Last year, I really wanted to make the jump to corps, so I tried for Capital Regiment in December. It was a great experience, and I loved the vibe of the corps. But, as most know, Capital folded before their second camp. After I heard that capital folded, I tried to look for a corps that still hosted open audition camps. And I found the Blue Stars. After practicing for a few weeks, I had the audition music down and I felt very confident. But, my grandfather wasn't doing well. He had been struggling with pancreatic cancer for a few months at the time, and he was put into hospice. I couldn't leave for corps with my family in the condition they were in, so I canceled my audition. So, mostly over the summer, I've kept my head into corps to get my mind off what happened with my grandfather. And while I was thinking about corps, I started thinking about auditioning in different places. My original idea was to go to Capital again, but I want to be in a corps where I don't have to worry about the chance of not having a season (even though Capital was amazing). So, here is where I stand. I love Capital, and if things are steady, I might go back, but now, I'm thinking Bluestars again. I had the music down and I liked the organization the corps had. Another corps came to mind recently, Glassmen. My friend (amazing at snare) wants me to go with him to the camp, and it sounds like a great idea. I always thought Glassmen was a highly respectable corps. And, here is another, The Cadets. I've always liked the Cadets. I love their style and they are always a family favorite at DCI finals. And here is the big one I'm having the hardest time with, The Bluecoats. Ever sence I started playing trumpet 6 years ago, the Bluecoats have been my favorite group of players. I mean, this is the corps I've been dreaming of all along. But the thought of even trying out for my dream corps gives me "cold feet". I dont know if I'm totally out of my league or if I should go for it. But I love DCI, and any corps would make me happy. What do you guys think? Any suggestions? Thanks guys!
