Thank you! I might get the 2011 audition materials as well, to give myself an idea of what to look for when the new ones come out, and to have something new to practice.

Okay, thanks! Only problem is that the 2012 Audition materials aren't for sale yet, so I still have to wait, unfortunately :( I emailed a while ago and asked haha

Bump: Any other ideas as to what to practice to improve my trumpet playing before the auditions?

Ok, thanks for the help! I'll start doing that.

Haha I'm not too worried about the physical aspect of drum corps, because I already have to work out a ton because I play NCAA college baseball. But thanks for the input. I looking more for the technical aspect of trumpet playing and what to work on in that area.

I am planning on auditioning for the Madison Scouts on trumpet for next summer and am wondering if anyone has some good advice on what I should be practicing to prepare myself for the audition. I already practice every day, making sure to complete a full warm-up and also warm-down when I finish. I have been using a lot of stuff from the Arban's book, along with some double and triple-tonging sheets. Along with that I try to go to the peak of my range every day in an effort to expand as much as I can. Is there anything in particular that anyone thinks I should work on to best prepare myself for the audition?

I'm not sure what exactly to take from what you just said, but thanks for the welcome!

Hi everyone! This looks like a good place to say hello to everyone on the forum for new members like me, so Hi!
