kauliflower Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Hi everyone, I've just found out I'll be coming to California on a university exchange in August 2010. I need to sub-preference campuses from the UC system. I've already chosen San Diego and Davis, but I need to pick one other out of Irvine, Merced, Riverside and Santa Barbara. I've already looked and none of them have great marching bands so I'm hoping people can tell me about bands in areas surrounding these campuses. p.s. I need to get these preferences done within a couple of days, so if you've got anything at all, please just shout it out! Rach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rach Hmmm...Riverside City College is the obvious one (Blue Devils South is the description out here), but you probably have to be an RCC student. Keep in mind, however, that many of the choices you listed are somewhat close to area drum corps...the Los Angeles region has a ton...both Jr and Sr...Pacific Crest, VK, Impulse, Incognito, Gold (hopefully they're still functioning), Mystikal, SoCal Dream Sr., and Kingsmen Alumni come to mind. You don't have to be a UC student to march any of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouooga Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 If marching band is your main focus, check out UC Riverside. I haven't heard too many things about the school (positive or negative), but I know a lot of people who go there specifically to march in the RCC Marching Band, who as far as I can tell is the best marching band (corps style) in the country.

Wildabeast Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Your best bet (based on your choices, and as already mentioned) would be UC Riverside. Website for the RCC MT Here's a historic video from 1989 I posted a couple months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpaul Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I could be wrong, but I don't believe you have to be a student at RCC to be in the band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're right, the best choice is UC Riverside....the 2 campuses aren't even that far apart (kinda like Pasadena CC and CalTech) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
