Raiders Weekend Camps
No audition required
Not ready for a full DCI season? — No problem.
Even if you’re not ready to try out for a DCI drum corps, we STILL want you to try our Rehearsal Camps!
You’ll learn from our DCI staff, and see how a drum corps operates at the highest levels — with no pressure to audition if you’re not ready.
DCI staff rehearsal
Come learn from the full Raiders DBC staff of DCI veterans.
DCI drum corps is its own world. Come spend a few hours or a full day learning from our veteran staff.
Everyone on the Raiders teaching staff has earned their place thanks to their extensive experience.
Weekend Camp Questions
Should I bring my own instrument?
The Raiders will have instruments available but it’s possible we will run out for certain sections.
If it’s convenient and you have the space, please bring your own instrument if you have one (except front ensemble).
Bring any brass instrument, even if it’s not normally drum-corps style (ie. trombone, Sousaphone, etc.)
Is it hard?
The Raiders Rehearsal Auditions are designed to be fun, educational, and inspiring.
You will learn many new things and they will be in an encouraging environment where you will learn to improve yourself, make new friends, and have fun while doing so.
