What do I need to be a part of Genesis Drum & Bugle Corps?

Attitude. Talent. Health & fitness. Attendance. Financial commitment.

Attitude

Every single day, we get up and go to work. We live by those words and expect you to live by them, too. You will be pushed harder than you ever have before, and there will be times where you will be tempted to give up. Positivity and perseverance will see you and your fellow performers through the easy and difficult days.

Talent

Unless otherwise stated, you should have experience in brass, percussion (battery or front ensemble), color guard, or marching band. You will be evaluated by our educational staff at all audition and rehearsal events with the expectation of improvement over time. Goals and objectives will be based on materials in the audition packet and in-person discussions at audition events.

Health & Fitness

The rehearsal, performance, and travel schedule involved are extremely demanding, and full health history and physical exam are required by every performer every performing season to adequately assess your fitness. It is crucial that you are able to withstand the physical, mental, and emotional toll of the day-to-day. This information is to ensure that our medical staff is able to adequately assist you during the season should you need it.

Attendance

If you are offered a callback or a contract, you are required to attend every rehearsal event required by your section. Please review the camp schedule and note any conflicts with school events. These must be discussed with your caption staff as soon as you know about them. Last-minute/emergency school and family events should be communicated with your caption staff as soon as possible.

Financial Commitment

All member fees are mandatory. We expect that you will have developed a plan to meet the financial commitment before you audition. Payments should be made on time according to the schedule outlined in your contract. Any financial issues should be communicated right away to determine if any assistance can be offered. See the financial page for a more detailed outline of this commitment.
