I thought the auditioning was done. Just 2 days ago, they posted on FB about joining The Void with a link to their auditions page. Don't know if this is full auditions or just wanting to fill out sections. I haven't kept up much either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to be that only the the top 10-15 could reliably count on having a full Corps, esp at the beginning of the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start off real small in horn line but pick up as season started. LMAO there was a former (read banned) DCPer who would pick a rhymes with witch when I would mention All Age in Jr forum. Wonder if the ears are burning 😈 Edited March 19, 2022 by JimF-LowBari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if the ears are burning 😈 Not unusual for Corps back then to add members as season goes on.  I recall one season in early 80s Guardsmen started with about 30-34 brass.  They put almost all on one side, & added new members to the other side as season went on.  I wonder how this impacted side 1 vs side 2 execution?

Yep, can’t find the post but guard, perc, etc all badly needed warm bodies. Wonder if this is the year when bunch of corps have to figure out what to do with less than full membership. (Irony is that’s a lot of what I saw with the lesser Sr circuits in my day. And why I enjoy DCA Class A smaller corps better than the full size corps) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
