In an audition, staff members look for a little talent, a great attitude and a lot of commitment. On audition day, prospective members can expect to learn about the organization they are auditioning for and even more about what it takes to be a part of a world-class drum corps. Most of all, they should also expect to have fun. - David Glasgow, Bluecoats executive director. Check out a list of audition dates for the corps you want to join.
