Hi everybody, I am a Music Education major at the University of North Texas and will be a senior in the fall. My goal upon graduation is to become a high school band director in Texas. Many of the top band directors have performed with a Drum and Bugle Corps which enhances their teaching skill set and marketability immensely. I began working very hard this past January 2013 learning to play the tuba. I have been a woodwind (saxophone) player since the 6th grade. At the March camp, I was offered a position with the Crossmen. This has been one of the hardest things I have worked for and I'm extremely happy to be spending a rook-out season with the Crossmen. I am a self-supporting college student and am now raising my $3000 tour fees. The costs include instruction, uniforms, food, housing, equipment, and transportation. It would mean so much to me if you could donate to help out with my tour fees. I would be very appreciative of any amount. Thank you so much for your help and I hope to see some of you at a show this summer!

General 2013 Audition Thread
corrado92_vdub replied to Some Random Drummer's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I'm a 3rd year music ed major at University of North Texas sax player. For months I have been deciding if I should march next summer, which would be my last, or not. In May, I started learning mello and after 3 weeks, I just stopped because I decided not to do it. Then 5 days ago, I really got the fire going and I fully intent to audition for Crossmen, Madison Scouts and Phantom Regiment. So far, I feel like I have been improving every day with 45 min of practice. In 3 months, I have no idea where I will be, but I hope to be proficent enough to play. From a visual satndpoint, I feel I am very good and able to take instruction and make progress immediately. As this is my last chance to audition, I really want this to happen. Thoughts? Thanks, any comments are appreciated! -

corrado92_vdub replied to Ellaparka's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
In a video I watched that I think is taken down, the synth was used to copy the contras part. I hope I'm wrong, but thats what I heard about a week ago. They might have changed it though. -
Phantom Regiment 2012
corrado92_vdub replied to Ellaparka's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
now with the firebird ending included. I noticed they do not play the pedal notes anymore...any reason to this? I'm guessing its Carichner taking control of the brass this year. They do sound very good though. -

corrado92_vdub replied to BRASSO's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Just something to think about...when has Phantom's 1st show of the season been even remotely the same as finals???? Never....I'm sure then, that even this year, it will be a very different show than we have seen in the past couple days. -

New changes for Phantom?
corrado92_vdub replied to Ellaparka's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
love love love the new ending. and im actually fine with no wedge. i think the new ending set actually compliments the music and the death of romeo more than a wedge could have done. but i could be wrong and it would be very cool to have a wedge again. -

What's wrong with 90's drill? We all loved it back in the day...just because everybody else is going in a new direction doesn't mean PR should... -

Southwestern Championship
corrado92_vdub replied to Hook'emCavies's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
there are great acoutstics. i think the sound of the baritones and tubas you will be impressed with. :) the alamodome is a wee bit confusing with the entrances and exits and parking could be a problem. but there are neighborhoods close by so if parking is a problem, you could always park there and walk. the food is expensive and just not so good. if there was a dinner break, the riverwalk is only a 5-10 minute walk as it is right there. if you have a chance friday or saturday lunch or even sunday, i would check it out. -

corrado92_vdub replied to Hook'emCavies's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
im in section 112 (45-50) row 10...my face will be gone by night...and i hope they do have a dinner break because i dont think they can serve all the fans with their cooking/serving speed. I know from past experience. :/ -
it was supposed to start at 7...then got pushed back to 8...now its starting at 9? :O

Phantom Regiment 2011
corrado92_vdub replied to charlie1223's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
i don't like all the negatives people are saying about Phantom this year. I think they are very old school in their drill and visual aspect, so we should appreciate that they are a corps trying to preserve the past. -
if you are going to atlanta, i would reccommend going to see the show with good seats. Atlanta contest is a time of year where the corps are at their best, and that is a real treat to see. If it were a smaller contest like Saginaw, then I would walk the lots, but for Atlanta, get good seats. :)
