BRASSO Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 Regiment had ~40 age-outs. Pic shows 44, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetalTones2012 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) I'm not sure what these numbers mean anymore. In the case of lower corps, a low number of age-outs more than likely means that their kids are aging-out elsewhere. And with the upper corps, a high age-out number means that vets from other corps keep walking in the door and aging-out there. In the middle we probably see -- well -- numbers in the middle with a higher count of age-outs than the lower corps but still losing some kids who age-out (maybe rook-out) in the upper corps. It would certainly be interesting to see stats which reflected all this movement but I doubt corps would be anxious to release it. I can imagine a graph with directional connections between all the corps that indicate transfer volume. Additionally it's becoming more and more common to take one or more years off during a marching career. Anyway I don't think age-out numbers mean a whole lot anymore. I guess they're a guide for where you might get a spot if you're considering auditioning at a higher corps. But a small (or large) age-out class just doesn't have the same meaning as in the past. It could work both ways at the same time. Quite a few Surf alumni age out in other corps, but at least half of this year's class were rook-outs. Two of those rook-outs came to Surf after almost a combined decade of marching in Open Class and DCA.
