sabreboi Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 So i have marched drum corps before (2005 Revolution and 2007 Crossmen)and this upcoming season is my Ageout and it is my dream to march Cadets. so i was wondering what a Cadet audition is like. What will April Gilligan be looking for, in a guard member now that she is capiton head. How much is experience a big part of marching there. So any information and tips about what to expect and what i need do to in order to prepare for my audition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ContrasAreFun Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 (edited) She can be hard on the members, but every guard she has taught got really clean and really good. Just do what you're told and do it well because she will always demand excellence no matter what you're doing. So if you stick it out, you will get good results. Good luck!

Mouthpiece1234 Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I freaking LOVE April. It seemed like all the guard members loved her, she is one of the most hilarious human beings I've ever known, especially in the marching arts. But wow does she know what she's doin!

Zeke Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 (edited) I have heard of her famous "Coming to Jesus" sessions. But WOW..look at was she has done in her years with Cadets is nothing short of amazing. Edited September 27, 2007 by Zeke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2000Cadet Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 You can expect that she will be a real hard-###, but that's what makes her guard so freaking great (and she is funny as ####!!!). Good Luck!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euponitone Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 April, like Gino or anyone else on the staff can be a real hardass at first, and in some ways that continues all year, but as you get to know them, and they get to trust you, jokes become more frequent and things get more fun. Thats because they trust the members to get back to work when its time. Just stick it out that first camp, and have a great time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothingbetter Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 is that the lady that made people spin on a dock, so they'd have to swim to get their rifle if they dropped(or something like that..)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
