What are the competitive circuits (preferably around Illinois)? Maybe check WGI.ORG to see if there are any circuits in your area. How much does it cost to enter these competitive circuits? Each circuit is different so once you have an answer to the above question, the next step would be to check with them. What are the rules on music/drill (length, style, etc.)? see above Are we allowed to use music from a band (copyright information)? you'll most likely have to obtain permission. that is the responsible thing to do. for WGI, however, some music banned. For people who have ran similar groups, how much did it cost you? we'd need more information before we know what a similar group is. # of members, bus cost, etc. Good luck, and I hope that helped a little!
