COME AND AUDITION!

Auditioning is Fun, not Frightful. Many qualified members don't come to auditions because they're nervous about being “cut.” Well we don't cut anyone! We want your audition experience to be exciting, educational and worthwhile. We encourage every person interested in the corps to come to camp.

Talent and skills are important, but work ethic and desire are often more important. There may also be opportunities you haven't considered. If your first instrument choice doesn't work out, perhaps a different instrument section might have more openings.

We guarantee you will leave the event with a full sense of what the Cascades are about, and take with you a weekend of quality music instruction, great experiences, and new friends.

Selection of corps members is based on four basic areas:
1) positive attitude
2) time commitment
3) ability to meet financial requirements
4) performance requirements within each caption (musically and visually)

NO ONE GETS CUT

Before the end of the weekend, you will be given feedback about your performance.

1- You are accepted into the Cascades and are offered membership.
2- You are a fine performer but you have some things to work on. You will be given direction and asked to attend the next camp. The hope is that with rehearsal, you will improve.

As the weekend comes to an end you'll have had an opportunity that most never have the courage to pursue; you'll have an idea of what it's like to work with one of the finest drum corps in America.

Do not stay home! Find out what drum corps is all about.
