c mor Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) yes, Blue Angels were a corps from Danvers, Massachusetts not California. There was a drum and bell corps from...iirc San Leandro named Blue Angels. To the point: an audtionee can only do their best to display the ability to meet the needs of the auditioning corps. The audtionee's job then, is to anticipate the needs. The amount of work necessary to achieve that depends soley on how far along the path they've already come. It may be hard to make a top line, or it may not. The certainty is only known if attempted. Ya gotta try.

xandandl Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I was trying to do the Angels on the right coast, the Devils on the left coast, but you did me one better. Your audition assessment is spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garfield Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I hope the OP is in Diamond Bar this weekend at the combined BD/PC event. He could learn everything needed to make PC or BD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xandandl Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) Hmm. all of a sudden this year this is about the third time you have been homering for BD enterprises. Did you have to sell your soul to get them to come to your Dublin doings or something??? System Blue for you, heh?

We like Cadets, too! Actually, I'm a homer for lots of corps. Edited December 13, 2014 by garfield 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRASSO Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 " How easy is it to make the Blue Devils ? ". Its a piece of cake. If you know how to bake one, and willing to volunteer in the kitchen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigW Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 One thing danced around on this topic but never really hit on is this- An individual might be "good enough", but the staff may feel they're not 'as good a fit' with that corps as someone else is. It may not be attitude, talent, just a perception the staff gets that's not really the fault of that individual applicant. The plethora of applicants allows the staffs to be that choosy. Which goes a long way to explain how someone might get cut at BD and offered a spot at Crown and vice versa. Dan's post awhile ago is close- go somewhere you're wanted, feel comfortable, and happy as a member, chasing a ring is secondary. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend sent me a pic with a number over 400. I don't FB. Maybe the answer to the OP's question is better answered by that FB post than all the advice from this board combined. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
