My son didn't give away any details of what they have so far, but this is what I took away from the conversation........... To anyone thinking the Mandarins were a cute little story and one hit wonder that will fall back to earth in 2024.............prepare to be highly upset Saturday Night, August 10th. Great to heat that, Chief! One of my son's HS classmates just got a contract with Mandarins so we'll be cheering for the corp once again this coming summer. I'm sure they've got something GREAT cooking for a follow up to last year. 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did your son find a new home this summer to march? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some of the percussion staff and what they are building and it wouldnt be a surprise to see that improve again in 2024. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the Cadets announcement, he decided to put all of his eggs into one basket for auditions. He really wanted to work under Matt Harloff and be a part of the Crown brass line. He worked extremely hard leading up to the first camp and was given a lead mello contract soon after. He's really enjoyed the camps so far and we're all exited for him and the coming season. Here we go again, Chief! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone thinking this has been willfully keeping their head in a hole in the ground. This isn't like when The Academy struck gold. This has been planned and developed for growth. And yeah, if they can start tapping into some of that insane California percussion talent we see every year in WGI, then...woo. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in SoCal alone, you can't throw a rock without hitting a drummer. They are deep out here! #6 bass drummer for Crown last season currently attends my son's Alma Mater Vista Murrieta High School. He had huge support and we were all very proud of him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
