quietcity Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Thank you! They're only getting tougher. I hear they're extending the test to become 7 hours total Huh I wonder how auditions for cymbals works? Would they just test ability to read rhythms and how well you can march? Not sure how things work these days, but there was a time that the cymbal line was an entry point for woodwind players to the drum corps world (I had a girlfriend clarinet player get in that way). As for auditions, while being good at rhythms is important, the most crucial thing is the ability to look totally bad-azz. I heard MCAT is adding sociology, psychology and bio-chem. So you should be studying right now, now wasting time with us dead-enders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buick Dad Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 There is a summer soccer event going on next to the stadium. Car parking is backed up the way they are routing everyone. They also charged us $10 to park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buick Dad Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I think this TOC show was moved up from Sunday as in previous years up to 7/31 Thursday in order to get access to Rutgers Stadium. The football team has exclusive use of the stadium starting 8/1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noname Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Car traffic? That's a first. Traffic is a mess due to construction. I'm sure some corps might be fairly late as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
