ConnorLeeWithSomeTea Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 What world class corps has had rookie drum majors often? I really love Carolina Crown, and I play tuba, but I would love to go straight to Drum Major with them (if I'm even good enough) in the future.

jonnyboy Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 It does't happen often, but it happens. I'll tell you what everyone else will, contact the corps you want to join and ask them directly. From memory, a few corps offered rookie drum major tryouts this season: Surf, Boston and Phantom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crownisking Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Crown had three rookie drum majors in 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsubone Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Madison had one recently, I want to say 2011? It's rare, but happens. I think BD has open auditions as well I've always been on the side of promoting DMs from within the corps, but every corps works differently I suppose.

fsubone Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 BD has never won with a rookie DM. Not as head, but they've won with rookies as assistant DMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
