Hey there! I'm trumpet player with two seasons left before I age out, and I marched Legends 2015. I'm looking to prepare for a possible future audition in world class (and hopefully Crown), and was wondering how I could best prepare. Any specific advice on exercises that I should practice, both musically and visually? As of right now, I'm practicing my box drills (with a low heel, straight leg extension), lips slurs, and some breathing gym. Any other specific exercises that you would recommend? What breathing gym exercises should I be doing? Thanks for any and all help!
For me sumo is a great exercise for me. Also metered breathing helps because it trains you to inhale and expell all of your air gradually or all at once by changing up the count structure. Hope those can help.
+Antonio Cabrera Ortega I figured 😂 I was at the Cadets camp in November, and there were between 10 and 15 open spots in the trumpet section, so that just shows how competitive Carolina Crown is. Did you make it?
So how do Crown auditions work? Like the process I mean.
You thanks your parents! That is an amazing band room! Wow
Oh my god, it's THE Kevin Marcus
YO, you're that guy, right? Like, THE guy
Roll tribe I wonder if y'all could practice on are field we have a great over head look for pictures
Kevin, I loved your audition..a senior at my school is trying out this year. Now..where can I get my hands on those shoes for next season?
those entrances man
I thought the same thing!
Quite a nifty audition! Loved every bit. Have the results came in?
He's a vet.
DCIaddict2601 O:

Did he make it.

Tuning
if he made it... this must be a joke.. his playing is sloppy
No u
i agree... like during the 145 and 200bpm box drill...
I was like "He made it? Dang I should probably try out!" Then I realized I can't afford it:(
