Academy Cadet Drum and Bugle Corps Questions...
1. Do you have to audition for the drumline?
2. Is there a 'pit' section for percussion and is that by audition?
3. Can you participate in intrammurals AND Drum and Bugle Corps? We have read that you are not required to do intrammurals if you do D and B...but what if you want to do both?
4. Is it a year round or only fall commitment (again, especially for those that want to be involved in athletics...can they do D and B in the fall and then do sports the rest of the year?)
5. How well received is the Drum and Bugle Corps by the other cadets and the powers that be? We have read that at another Academy it is considered sort of the wimps way of exiting other training and athletics and not very well received or thought of.
Thanks! Oh, and would love opinions on this from other Academys.
