BassClefTristan Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Hello all. As some of you know, I marched Music City in 2017 on baritone. This year however, I planned on taking off. But my home corps, Music City has offered me a spot in the baritone section again for this season to fill a hole, but at a cost of $1000. I would be starting July 3. I want to know some of your thoughts on this; would you take the spot if it were you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeN Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Depends on why you took off to begin with. Can you afford it? Do you feel up to suddenly jumping back in with both feet? Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike I initially decided to take the summer off for my health, as it was in a decline around February and March, so I terminated my contract with MCDC on March 1st. However, my health has gotten exponentially better since then. I feel I would be ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are only so many years you can march a WC junior corps (especially in its inaugural WC season!)

ShutUpAndPlayYerGuitar Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I strongly recommend not seeking advice on DCP or /r/drumcorps. In all seriousness: it comes down to if you want to do it. If the money and health aspects are enough to make you not want to march, don't. If your health is fine, and if money isn't a huge enough concern to make you think twice ... then do it. The one caveat (assuming you're of average-ish talent) is that filling a hole can suck ... especially early on. March 1 to July 3 is a lifetime as far as the development of the season. You'll need to hit the ground running as soon as you're rehearsing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodmello Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 My 2 cents... if you do it, there's no way you'll regret it. Who knows if you'll regret missing the opportunity? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
