First of all before I reiterate myself later in this post I understand that I am going to be younger than a lot of the people auditioning, I also understand these are my first drum corps auditions,hence coming here for the advice. I am an All-State Euphonium player in Texas looking to audition for spots at Crossmen, Boston, and Colts. It would be helpful to hear from people who marched there how their experience was with the staff, what was the summer like with the corps, so on and so forth. I feel I am at a disadvantage due to my age...being that I will be 16 come late November early December. Anybody wishing to offer me some tips or advice for what are good things to practice now since I'm at home practicing until I start running brass sectionals in two weeks at my local high school. (For the record by advice I mean, helpful points in the right directions, not chops at me over my age).
