at your age, you have a much better chance of getting into a world class corps rather than an open class corps,!.!.!.do 2 seasons in a smaller group & then you'll be ready to step up to the big boys like the cadets!. most open class corps generally go age 17 to 21 & prefer you to have strong previous experience!Www@QuestionHome@Com

you can at that age I think, but i'm pretty sure you have to be out of high school!. At least thats the Phantom Regiment's rules!. Do you know how much work goes into being in a drum corps!? They pratice 6 hours a day, everyday!. You have to audition to be in the corps and its very expensiveWww@QuestionHome@Com

(To 1st poster) Um!.!.!. they practice more than 6 hours a day!.

Get ready to make your parents drive you to camp auditions!.

with your age i'm guessing you're going to be a sophomore this next school year!. or you're gonna be a junior who happens to turn 16 later on this year!. i think the age limit for drum corps is 16 to 21!. however, if you're still in high school, drum corps may interfere with your high school band's schedule!. this is why most people wait until after they graduate to do it!. if something is going to create conflict with you and drum corps, you really have to pick one!. drum corps is all about dedication!. you're either in or out!. anyways, i think it's too late for you to join since competitions aleady began last weekend!. drum corps is an audition process and you have to be extremely good and be completely flawless to make a world class corps like the cadets!. you can audition next year if you like but i would hold up until i graduate!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
