I think i'm gonna start making my entries just friends only too. I don't want to live with the worry that someone is gonna read something personal that i don't want them to read. Anyone who is on my friends list is ok, but if you're someone i don't know and you read my livejournal, you're gonna have to talk to me about adding you on my list. So

Hello, I am a member of the Phoenix Drum and Bugle Corps (Div. 3). I found you through the marching band interest link in your user profile. Phoenix is based in Brick, NJ.What I am doing is trying to recruit for Phoenix, because we really need to fill up more positions in the corps. We still have many horn line spots open, about 2 bass drum spots, and we need lots of people for the pit too. We also have one or two more spots open in the guard, but our biggest priority is the hornline. To be honest, we are pretty desperate. We have tons of fun (IM me or email me if you want to chat about the corps-TheSpinBich@aol.com)and we work really hard. We have managed to establish a name for ourselves throughout the past few seasons, and our staff this year is the best we've ever had. Our show is based on music from the movie "Life as a House" and visually, our show should be wonderful. We are actually building a sort of framework house on the field, and we are using ladders as props for soloists and whatnot. I joined the corps 2 years ago and though we are small and "only Division 3", we learn so much and have such a great time. I have never met a cooler group of people that are so accepting and friendly. We practice on Saturdays and Sundays only, with a few Fridays thrown in occasionally, so you can still have a job during the week. In late July, we go on a two-week tour to Colorado to perform in DCI Championships. Plus this year we will be staying in Denver to watch Div. 1 finals. It's going to be amazing! Our fees this year are 1000 dollars per member, but before you decide against it, let me assure you that there are plenty of fundraising activities, including sponsorship letters and working concession stands at Phillies games. The corps is always willing to help out with money and/or travel issues. Even if you play a woodwind and are willing to learn a horn, our staff can teach you. Plus, if you are in marching band, marching in a drum corps over the summer means you will go back to marching band incredibly tan, strong, and way ahead of where you were last year. The experience is great-please don't let this opportunity pass you by...we really NEED anyone who might be interested. If you are interested or have any questions or concerns, you can contact me directly through my email and i can get you set up with the right people, or you can email:

-phoenixmph2003@yahoo.com or matt_hurley@medcohealth.com (matt hurley, the director)
-MMingle16 (our drill writer/instructor)
-teo3@Lehigh.EDU (our drum major, telly)

Make the effort and just attempt to get to ONE CAMP-I promise, if you show up to one camp, you will want to stay for the whole season. We work hard and we finally want to really make a name for ourselves...this could be that season to do it...we've got the show and the staff...now we need the people to show up and stick with it. Thanks for your time. You can email or IM me, or post in my livejournal if you have questions. Please please please help us out this season!

Thanks for taking the time to try recruiting me. I love marching band and watching bands perform in DCI competitions, but i think i'm gonna follow my dream of becoming a band teacher. I have a couple of music scholarships to Glenville State College in West Virginia, and i'm taking their summer program. So i wouldn't have time or money to join. Thanks any ways.
