Tim K Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 I recall seeing a video about the Bridgemen that said everyone had to audition for. 1976, including alums. I don’t know what the audition entailed. I’m thinking it was probably not as detailed as an audition is today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems short-sighted to me. BTW, this really happened. I personally told the founder of the corps about it and he found it very disturbing. Lots of difference in maturity from 16-21. I would always pick the oldest if two people are in the same talent range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverCityAndTroopersFan Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Funny little story: one of my mb directors is a percussion tech at ColtCadets. He constantly tries to persuade me to go do ColtCadets once i graduate. I’ve said yes every time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but I have had 16-year old HS students in my college biology classes who are much more mature than some of the 21 (or 31)-year olds. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldSnareDrummer Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Hell, I'm 66 and am told regularly I have the maturity of a 21 y/o. Mind is still young, the bod no so much. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
