How to Prepare for Audition Camps

2005-10-03T20:57:00.000-04:00

At this point of the year, most veteran and potential rookie Cadets are in the middle of their high school or college marching band schedule. This is a good opportunity to practice marching and playing technique. But to be a Cadet, you will need to take the additional time out of your very busy life and do extra rehearsal. This is what's going to separate you from everyone else. This rehearsal should definitely include more physical exertion (running laps daily is the best way to achieve the level of cardiovascular performance an eleven minute Cadet drill will require). Also, remember most shows have sections of 208 beats per minute and faster. Will you be ready for that 12 hour rehearsal day in Orlando when you march 208 all day?

I won't comment too much on the musical and guard aspects here because every section obviously has different responsibilities.

Make sure you have your transportation set for the camp. Know what day it starts, how you're getting to the airport, etc. Know how much money you are expected to pay at the camp to the corps. Make sure you have all the toiletries, etc. to live in southern New Jersey for a weekend with a lot of strangers.

Just keep pushing yourself every day and remember, no matter hard you are working, there is always someone else out there working harder than you who wants it more than you.

Audition Camps

2005-09-30T15:54:00.000-04:00

I will never forget the first time I walked into Bergen County Vocational-Technical High School in Teterboro, New Jersey. Located right off of Route 46 and across the street from Teterboro Airport, it seemed odd to me that this obscure location was where a World Champion drum and bugle corps rehearses. But, I would soon learn that obscure practice locations are par for the course in drum corps so the Cadets of Bergen County were no exception.

The equipment trucks, corps buses and airport shuttles were very intimidating to an 18 year old college freshman. I remember being scared to death when I met Jay Bocook and George Hopkins for the very first time. These were drum corps legends and here I was, some good-for-nothing rookie trying to hang with the big boys. But that November evening, nearly nine years ago is permanently engraved in my mind. Little did I know that I was about to begin a process that would change the way I view life and the people I knew forever.

I owe a lot to drum corps...and to the people that pushed me when I was down and wanted to quit. Yes, it was hard work...much more difficult than anything I had ever done before. But, that's what made it so worthwhile. That's what makes me fondly recall those neverending audition camps, where hours are spent perfecting posture and breathing exercises.
