Balancing Corps and Family

We all love this activity and, in the DCA circut, I have seen where some corps have their entire family marching. What a great way to balance Corps and Family. Unfortunately this is not the case for everyone and sometimes hard choices have to be made.

SoCal Dream had a great camp this past weekend, and we still seem to be on target to put a complete show on the field our first time out this month. However we are still short a couple horn players. Unfortunately, Sunday night after camp, we got a call that one of current upper lead sops had to make that tough choice between Corps and Family. Due to a family situation, he has had to resign his position in the corps. I am real sorry to lose him and I really hope and pray that everyone in his family gets through this situation and all will be well real soon.

I am not going into specific details because the why doesnt matter. SoCal Dream still needed one more upper lead, however with this situation, we now need two upper leads and I am sure everyone knows that time is now real short. We have 4 rehearsals left before our first show and only have one upper lead spot filled. We are looking for help to fill these spots ASAP. I watched the Renegades fill up their snare line in the past week and I know that many people helped shake the trees to find them. Following on that, I am posting here in hopes that some of you may know some players that arent commited somewhere else or may be in our area but didnt want to travel every weekend to march.

We also had a contra player that had to quit for health reasons. Once again another player who will be missed and we need to fill that spot too.

If you are reading this and know someone or might be in that category yourself, and you want to have a great summer experience, email me at membership@socaldream.org.

Thanks for reading this, SoCal Dream needs your help.
