Haha, the DCI off-season is long and painful. Can't even think think about it yet.

It seems the bulk of corps (at least those that have posted info yet) hold their first audition weekend on November 21-23, 2015. That's just over 14 weeks away.

Who's excited?!? :w00t:

My kid is busy memorizing his book for HS marching band, which for him starts Thursday.

But in between, he's still noodling over his list of where to audition in November/December, re-watching prior years' shows, etc. Ah, the energy of youth!!!

Same here, but he has been at band camp the last two weeks. As it turns out my son was the only one in the ensemble who marched over the summer, and the first couple of days were an adjustment particularly from an intensity level standpoint where he had to "throttle back", as it were. His band director is also the director of Boston and their drum instructor worked with Bluecoats, so I'll be sure to let my son know about this thread. Thanks for posting!
