Troopers Percussion Auditions 2010
Hello Everyone!
Thanks for your interest in the Troopers Drum and Bugle Corps Percussion Section! We
are hard at work on this upcoming season and can’t wait to meet each and every one of
you. Please RSVP on the Troopers website for only ONE of the audition camps so we
know that you will be joining us. A full audition calendar and camp schedule can be
found on our website: www.troopersdrumcorps.org
You can RSVP for an audition camp through the following link:

Audition Process
We will be holding audition camps on November 20-22 and December 18-20. All
percussion camps will be held in Wyoming. There will be NO Satellite camps for
percussion due to logistical nightmares that are associated with equipment and housing.
We understand that this is an inconvenience for some of you, so here is what we are
doing this year to help you out….we are asking that you come to only ONE of the
audition camps.
The camps in November and December will cover the exact same
material, so there will be no need for you to come to both. School conflicts and band
performances can be worked out on an individual basis by contacting the caption head.
Once we have seen you at one of these camps, we will either ask you to come back in
January or not. Those that will be asked back for the January camp will then continue an
audition process on a monthly camp basis until we have filled the percussion section with
predetermined numbers in each sub-section. We hope to have the percussion section
finalized by the March camp.
There will be marching and playing portions of audition camps. Please be prepared with
appropriate shoes, clothing, etc. Again, if there are legitimate conflicts with camp
attendance, please notify the caption head for assignments.
Those that are offered contracts for the group are required to attend ALL camps until
move-ins. School conflicts and band performances will be worked out on an individual
basis. YOU HAVE TO ATTEND CAMPS FOR THE STAFF TO EFFECTIVELY
EVALUATE YOU FROM MONTH TO MONTH!!!
Please email the corps office (not an instructional staff member) for any questions
regarding finances, flights, locations, etc.
Again, please keep checking the website for information. We will be posting percussion
specific information throughout the winter season. Thanks again for your interest in the
Troopers Drum and Bugle Corps Percussion Section!
