Aww, nope, I'm 23 already, but junior corps was very good times. Going to audition for the Coast Guard band if they have any openings though.

Hi there everyone! I am wondering if there are any corps close to the ND area? I also drill with my CG Aux unit around MN Lake of the Woods area which is our main duty station. If you have any information, please visit my website www.honorguardbugler.com or email me. Thanks! Hope to see you all on the field soon! I play bugle and percussion.

Hi there. Now selling all three pairs for $40 + $5 for USPS priority shipping. If interested please email alexdavis@honorguardbugler.com Thanks!

Hi there! Yep, the soft ones are the corps masters and the two others are vic verth. Thanks!

Hi there! I have three pairs of timpani mallets for sale. Each pair is $40 including shipping. They are Vic Verth hard, medium, and a soft pair not sure of brand. They are in great condition. I accept paypal. If interested, please email me at coastguardgirl@samobile.net.

See, the reason I'm wondering is because my corps has issued me a holton Collegit (not spelled right I know), and my corps director says it was made in the seventies. I was just trying to find out some history behind it.

I am just wondering what the difference is in student and upper level trumpets. My corps has issued a holten collegiate. Is this a good horn? Should I move to professional? Thanks! Do you guys still use student horns?

I think those are for high school kids and for those that have no drum corps experience. I have the experience, I just don't have lots of time, so I wanted to still learn drum corps technique without touring.

Hi there everyone! Do any of you know of any brass camps/workshops for university aged players that I could attend? I have aged out of junior corps, and am looking for a place to learn. Are there any corps that let musicians come for a weekend just to learn technique and not join? Are there any corps that let you tour for a week and help out as well as learn with the corps? Thanks!

Bugle corps is for sure not drum and bugle corps anymore. It used to be sponsored by the American Legions and VFWs, and corps used to perform for veterans' events. It's all a sport now. That's why I am in my current corps. We are all buglers and we play for veterans. We play to serve, not to win.

I am extremely interested in becoming a member of your drum and bugle corps. I am twenty one years old. I am interested in the front ensemble and marching in parades. I hope to travel to an upcoming rehearsal and audition to be considered for a marching position. I am willing to travel anywhere. I will be extremely dedicated and commited. I have toured five years with various drum and bugle corps.

Reference: Thomas Day tomjday@sbcglobal.net I practice more than two hours a day. I am willing to work hard and go above and beyond expectations. I strive for perfection everyday and accept nothing less of myself each time I commit a tune to memory. Even though I am visually impaired, I believe not having sight allows me to completely focuss on the task set before me. What ever I have to do to be in your corps, whether it be in Canada or US, I will be on the next greyhound or plane as soon as I am allowed to audition. After passing the audition, I will make arrangements to stay with a local host family or other housing. If you have any further questions, please feel free to email me at ahighlandpiper@ gmail.com. I hope to hear from any interested drum corps staff soon. Thanks!

Hi you guys! I was wondering if maybe you could relate to this. I was in pipe band rehearsal Tuesday, and when I came home, I found that it hurt if I moved my foot to the left right on the front of my ankle, but when I walk on it, it only hurts if I straighten my foot. Is this a mild sprain? Have you guys ever had this before? And the worst thing is, I have a parade Sunday, eeeeeeeeeeek!

I just finished listening to the World Championships on ESPN2. I couldn't see it, but the sound was spectacular. My host parents did a good job of explaining it to me. Great job you guys. I hope you all had a great season! I miss drum corps, but I know in my heart I'll be back. It's my age out year for junior corps, but there's always senior corps. Remember that aging out members of DCI. It's time for DCA!

Cool! I would love to join the Renegades ! How do I audition? What sections need members. I stay mostly in the front ensemble since I can't see, but it sure sounds exciting! I'd love to tour the east and west coast! If you would like to contact me, my email is ahighlandpiperatgmail.com!

Hello everyone! I will be moving to Modesto in September to study bagpiping! My pipe band doesn't have a big schedule, so are there some senior corps in Modesto or close by that are looking for members? Thanks!

Yep, it is an intermediate model.

Hi you guys! The trumpet I have that I am selling is a doc severinsen trumpet Model number 1000B. Please email me for pictures at ahighlandpiperatgmail.com. I will take best offer starting at $350 because it comes with travel case. I did some research, and Conn makes it. Here is the ebay listing: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=320134351863

The auction is still on. I dropped the starting price to $350.

I have lowered the price to $500

Thanks for the advice guys! Yep, I fixed it right after you posted. Does it look like it's worth $600, or should I have lowered the price? Thanks!

Hi you guys! I am selling my trumpet on ebay. You can view the listing at: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...p;rd=1&rd=1 It is a Conn in like new condition. It has only been used once at an Armed Forces Day performance. It is in almost new condition. I got it directly from a music store. It comes with a hard travel case and cleaning accessories. I am selling to get an American Heritage trumpet for my service in Bugles Across America.

I have been in various corps, and last year was the year I stopped marching. I am now twenty one, the year most corps kids age out, but I chose a different path. If I would have toured this year, I wouldn't have gotten to attend Camp Courage (a camp for physically disabled), be in my pipe band, and now I have a chance to volunteer with the little kids at Courage Day Camp. I love drum corps, but I am so glad I didn't march this year. Because of marching corps, some kids never get to experience time at summer camp. And most of all, I can give time to Bugles Across America, the best bugle corps ever!

Nope, no luck unfortunately.

If anyone is a really good bugler/trumpet player, I am interested in finding someone to learn from online. I will pay whatever fee you need. Up to $40 an hour! This would be a great way to get sponsored to march. I have been playing soprano for two years, but still need to learn alot. You can contact me through skype at pipebandgirl, or msn at classicaltrumpetplayer@hotmail.com I look forward to hearing from you!
