This is kind of an open-ended question... but... in order to make the Cadets snareline in November, what do I need to do? Particular rudiments I should get up a certain speed, warmups, marching speed, other stuff... what do I need to know? Please help me out here, I do know some of what I'll need but I'm not going to put any of it down here, so I can get a clear reading of what the experienced guys say.
Also... got any recommendations for audition pieces? I don't want to necessarily use the same one as someone else, but I need an idea of what kind to choose difficulty-wise, etc...
And here's the other thing: I don't have an instructor from any corps, or anything, so I have no one to ask except the guys who are online.
I've heard that getting on the line is 10% talent and 90% motivation... true?
