Concerned in the PNW

I went to the Seattle Cascades Show and Tell this past weekend. 68 total members is what I counted at the camp. My husband and I are very concerned are we wasting out money to send our son to this drum corps. We both marched in DCI many years ago. Are other west coast corps have any openings. The Seattle Cascades appears to have recruiting issues and we want the best for our son. Concerned Parent
