I'm off to Santa Clara for DCI auditions!
I'm so excited! Only 7 more hours!

Have a great weekend everyone, I'll be back on Monday!

John P · 11-24-2006, 04:03 PM

Good luck man. I wish I were marching this summer!

Dustin · 11-24-2006, 08:01 PM

Good luck.

Hopefully I'll be marching with someone within the next couple seasons.

(Again) Good luck!

Be bad-*** like the rest of the corps and you'll do fine! lol

Out of curiosity, what do you have to do for a DCI audition? I've seen a couple of shows and there are some real monsters, I'm guessing you don't go in and play Petrouchka and Mahler 5...

When I auditioned for Crossmen in '05, I played Hungarian Dance No. 5 and Londonderry Air for the first camp. For the rest of the winter camps, I had to play show music and technical exercises from memory. The first audition just gets you in the door. The rest of the "check-ups" were what really counted. People who didn't have their music memorized were cut from the line. While chops are important, corps look for hard work and dedication more than anything.

I MADE IT!!!!!

I gotta say, I really wasn't expecting to do all that great, I went mainly for the experience and to see how hard I would have to work to make it next year. But I did it!

It must have been those brownies, thanks Lara!

Congratulations David!

Congrats! Sounds like you're in for a lot of fun (and maybe just a little hard work...)
