TheOneWhoKnows Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 13 hours ago, GREENBLUE said: Cavaliers percussion posted that auditions are only virtual this year. Could it be because there are so few spots open in ‘24? I noticed only 8 roses (age outs) in the Best percussion pic. 8 out of 34 is pretty good. Anyone with insight? Could be with their WGI connections from this year they already have some in mind for the few spots? 10 hours ago, Waxman said: That's interesting. I don't have any inside information but I'd imagine this is only for the first round of auditions, and they'll still have callbacks in person. Probably a combination of high interest and relatively few spots as you said. It might honestly be easier for new members to get noticed with a solid video audition than at a camp with 50 other people, it gives the staff a real chance to focus on them specifically. The one thing I do feel pretty confident about is that they haven't filled up the open spots with people they know by September. It'll be very competitive, but if you deserve a spot there, you'll earn a spot. Could also look at it as a money saving tactic too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why spend the money when you don’t need to. Especially if you just won high drums with a small amount of age outs. Brass also cut back to two cities, hopefully high retention rate from this season. On the other hand guard has 4 audition cities thru the fall. Trying to ride the success of a 6th place finish and a new guard program. Attract More talent and they can definitely be a top 5 guard.

Slingerland Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Just went to their website, since I hadn't been there for awhile. Their most recent 990s are posted and public, along with all of their member, volunteer, and staff policy handbooks. Hoping other corps can follow this example, if they aren't already.

OldSnareDrummer Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Excellent choice, Hook'Em. I say it every day, History has meaning. Embrace it and honor it, young people. Don't toss it aside. BTW, for the anti-costume/prop people, notice the '71 corps. Yes, it's really been going on that long. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
