LSU GRAD 82 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I will add that this is paid professional entertainment with all performances taking place in New Orleans. Performers would be intended to not miss any rehearsals or performances, though if we have the necessary intended backups built into a backup line of drummers, it might allow for a backup person filling in with proper advance notice from the main performer, or possibly even rotation of a whole line of drummers performing on an established set of calendar weeks. At this time, we are working out the organizational details to make the annonucement soon.KEEP POSTED! When the word is put out here, those in the Greater New Orleans area who read it here, or on the GNODCA forum (www.gnodca.org) will be the first to jump in on this GREAT opportunity. My psychic powers tells me that it's going to have something to do with the Saints......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumpin2drums Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 Open Auditions for Professional Drum Line Opportunity A professional drum line is being formed with all performances intended to take place in the New Orleans area. Each performer will be paid per performance. The opportunity to participate as an initial performing member is being offered. Priority for selection of players will be based on the following. • Professional attitude and dependability • Versatility to perform using both traditional & matched grip as required • Physically capable of possibly carrying any individual instrument (snare, tenor, bass, cymbal) while performing necessary marching and maneuvering • Ability to read music and quickly memorize music and short marching routines • Candidates will most likely be individuals above high school age, over 18 years old, though anyone under 18 is welcome to attempt to meet the commitment needed for the many weekly performances and rehearsals with the necessary parental support • Candidates will most likely live within a one hour drive from New Orleans to be able to meet the demands of the frequency of weekly rehearsals and performances on weekends and some weekday evenings • Individual member’s participation is at the sole discretion of the director Details of the performance opportunities will be provided to potential performers at two auditions; 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm on 9/9/07 and on 9/16/07 at the Destrehan High School band room. All drum equipment will be supplied for the audition, and intended participants need only bring their own pair of sticks to perform on snare and tenor. Interested individuals will be asked to perform a very short sight-reading selection on snare, then tenor, and be asked to play up to 30 seconds of anything they would like to play without written music as improvisation on snare, then tenor to display their capabilities. If all positions are filled on 9/9/07 the opportunity still exists at the 9/16/07 audition to participate as a back-up to fill-in or permanently replace a performing member as needed. Announcement of intended participants to be considered for immediate available positions or back-up positions will occur immediately at the end of each audition (9/9/07 & 9/16/07). The final determination of specific spots for those selected individuals is intended to be announced before 9/29/07 by way of a personal communication. Location of Destrehan High School: http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?latlo...%20%28K%2d12%29 Please do not call Destrehan High School with any questions, as we are merely making use of their facilities, and the school is not directly associated with this drum line.

Jumpin2drums Posted October 18, 2007 Author Share Posted October 18, 2007 Some GNODCA members (www.gnodca.org)under the directorship of a couple of ex-Cavalier drummers who are band directors in our metro area, have auditioned and grasped the opportunity to perform as one of two selected NBA Hornets' drum lines. If you live in the metro New Orleans area and interested in participating in this group you may go to the GNODCA forum and post an inquiry under the "Drums" topic.

5drumsweeps Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 My psychic powers tells me that it's going to have something to do with the Saints......... Nope.. New Orleans Hornets. We auditioned for them at the New Orleans Arena the morning of the Tulane vs. LSU game. The audition went very well, as the Hornets have contacted us that we got the gig. Further details under way..
