<p>I'm currently a freshman at Michigan Tech and just received an LOA for USNA '10. Right now I currently play snare drum for Michigan Tech but I was just wondering if anyone has either been in or has some information on Drum and Bugle Corps. I was at the website and saw the audition music for percussion, but it was only two short pieces.</p>
<p>Does anyone know how competitive the Drum and Bugle Corps is to get into? Also, in the case of percussion, are you allowed to try out just for a specific part like snare or bass drum, or do you have to be able to play a multitude of things such as bells, quads, xylophone, etc. Finally, I know that the D&B travels to some events, but does the entire group go or only a selected bunch?</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
