I can't believe how fast the date is approaching. Will there be a show announcement at the Open House?

Granted, I haven't marched in 20 years, but is it now customary to charge money for an 'Open House'? I don't get it. Why would an all-ages corps limit themselves by making an interested potential member pay to learn about the corps? And auditions for an all-ages corps? When did this start?

Hi Dreu,

You will find that a lot of corps now charge for Open House. For us, it's simply a way to help offset the administrative costs it takes to run the event. If prospective members stay on with us, money paid goes towards their dues.

We use "auditions" as a way to help place people on parts, particularly in the horn line. For percussion and guard, it is more like a true audition. Auditions also provide a way for members to really take ownership of their spot. There's a bigger sense of pride when members know they had to "work" for it. I do want to emphasize that no one is ever cut from the corps. We find a place for anyone who really wants to be there. As you know, opportunity lies around every corner.
