G-horns Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 I am extremely interested in becoming a member of your drum and bugle corps. I am twenty one years old. I am interested in the front ensemble and marching in parades. I hope to travel to an upcoming rehearsal and audition to be considered for a marching position. I am willing to travel anywhere. I will be extremely dedicatedand commited. I have toured five years with various drum and bugle corps. Court of Honor from Atlanta, GA as timpanist Blue Saints from Sudbury, Ontario, Canada timpanist/hornline Parriah Percussion Theatre Jasper, GA timpanist Edmonton Struttes 2005 Timpanist/Hornline for parades Pipe band Experience: Student Atlanta Pipe Band snare drum student Edmonton and District snare drum student Vancouver pipe band bagpipes full performing member, the Heather and Thistle Pipes and Drums tenor drum/bagpipes I am a proud member of Bugles Across America. Reference: Thomas Day tomjday@sbcglobal.net I practice more than two hours a day. I am willing to work hard and go above and beyond expectations. I strive for perfection everyday and accept nothing less of myself each time I commit a tune to memory. Even though I am visually impaired, I believe not having sight allows me to completely focuss on the task set before me. What ever I have to do to be in your corps, whether it be in Canada or US, I will be on the next greyhound or plane as soon as I am allowed to audition. After passing the audition, I will make arrangements to stay with a local host family or other housing. If you have any further questions, please feel free to email me at ahighlandpiper@ gmail.com. I hope to hear from any interested drum corps staff soon. Thanks! If even only HALF of what you claim is true (and I know ALL of it is true) I think your audition is complete. Congrats to the corps that has you on the roster for 2008 - and beyond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spandy Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 (edited) I'm biased, of course, but I think you should check out the Chops website: http://www.chopsinc.com We're "located" in East Bethel, MN, but we have rehearsals all over the twin cities. New members are always welcome, and I know there'll be a spot in the pit for you. Edited September 21, 2007 by Spandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davland Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 (edited) Our pit won I&E at DCA this year. You know there's always great stuff happening in California. Not to mention the fact that once you're out here, you could probably line up some teaching/staff gigs with local bands and whatnot. In spite of the fact that there are several big dog drum corps in California, some parts of the state are severely lacking in quality percussion instructors. The Central Coast area (where I live and teach) being one of them. Move to California and not only could you march, but you could probably make a living. Feel free to PM me anytime.

KiltieBD3 Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 may as well throw it in. www.kilties.com You'll find all the information you need right there on the 2008 season. But I agree with a previous poster. With that attitude take your pick. Most Corps would love to have someone with that atitude. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
