If you are interested in marching drum corps in a GREAT drum corps in the PNW, I invite you to come out and audition for the Columbians, based out of Pasco, WA. We finished our season at Denver this past year 3rd in the country for open class (behind BDB and SCV) and undefeated. I don't think the corps has ever lost actually.. This year we are ending at Denver again, so if you want an inexpensive and short summer, this would be great for you.

I'm also on visual staff.. I can tell from my experience from last year, this is an AMAZING group.. the members and staff are so awesome, it's like a family. I've marched BDB, BD, and marched/taught a DCA corps.. this group is great. I've heard the same from other staff who marched BK, Cascades, Cadets, etc.. We have a lot of BD alumni on staff as well.

Eric? Wow I forgot you are on this site. I was one of the contra players last year, and you can expect me to be back again for my 3rd summer.

I seriously think you guys should go to the championships... Ya'll are definitely one of the best open class corps out there.

I have a question: I'm from Central Washington, so are there any housing plans set in place? Do we sleep at the school or are there different plans?

And I'm talking about audition camps, not all days. Sorry for not specifying.

Yes, out of towners will have housing at a local gym or ymca or something. For all days you will (I believe) be housing at other members houses.

lightman, you were in the corps? That's funny..

On a side note.. I just put in my resignation.. so I'm probably not going to be there next lol BUT the corps is still amazing and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in marching
