Practice hard, and good luck!

Boston Crusaders; July 17, 2006; Battle Creek, Mich.
During an audition, staff members will look for a positive attitude, a great work ethic and ability to gel with the group. Drum corps can be such a difficult thing to get through on those long, hot days on tour. Your attitude is a huge part of how your drum corps experience goes. We are looking for individuals that can roll with the punches and put their best foot forward under all conditions. - Rosie Miller, Carolina Crown color guard co-supervisor. Check out a list of audition dates for the corps you want to join.
