- These are not typical drum corps contracts in the sense that they are not a guarantee of a position in the 2022 line or a commitment to completing the season; instead, they show us that you understand the basics of what is expected of you as a Buccaneer. Additionally, the medical form in particular allows us to better help you should a health issue arise in the course of rehearsal-- participants who do not have a medical form already on file with the corps will be required to sign a medical waiver upon arrival.
What to Bring:
-
Water
-
A snack will be provided mid-day, but water to drink during rehearsal is the responsibility of each participant. ONLY water is permitted in the auditorium and other rehearsal spaces. We recommend having a gallon jug, labeled with your name.
-
-
Equipment
-
Corps equipment will be available to use---however, to be sure that everyone in attendance has a chance to play, if you have a Bb trumpet, mellophone, baritone, or tuba, please bring it, along with your mouthpiece. Likewise, if you have a drum pad and sticks, or any color guard equipment, please bring that with you as well. Be sure your equipment is labeled with your name.
-
Upon Arrival:
All guests must enter the building through the main lobby. Entry through any other door will not be permitted. Once inside, all guests must proceed to the registration table to complete their check-in, show proof of vaccination (if not previously submitted online), and receive a wristband indicating that they are in compliance with all corps policies and procedures.
