Don't give up marching corps, period. It's a fantastic experience that you will never forget.
"No matter how good the corps is, they will hold you back for that very reason... BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT IN THE PRACTICE ROOM!!!"
I personally don't agree with this, I marched 2yrs and in all honesty, came back a much better player. I gained many things that could be gained in the practice rooms, tone, technique, musicality and life long friendships (not gained in the practice room, ha)...just to name a few. Now granted it's going to be a player to player basis and I'm not saying because it worked for me it will work for you and vice versa. Just make sure you use the information given to you wisely, know your physical limitations and take care of your chops.
Have a blast this summer!!...and yea stick with the trumpet, who wants to play euph anyway? haha |
