The Guardians Drum and Bugle Corps is a nonprofit c 3 organization. As such, it has a Board of Directors, directors, and staff assigned to carry out the organization's mission. More information about the costs of the Guardians can be found at the following link. You are required to attend every rehearsal and audition camp if offered a contract. Upon receiving a contract, you must include all conflicts in your rehearsal conflict form. If you do not include a conflict in this form, you will not be excused from camp.
You can approach Guardians administration regarding unknown conflicts one month prior to said conflict. There is a per camp training fee that will need to be paid if you miss camp. IYour spot will be lost and contract voided if you miss camp, do not inform the administration, and do not pay the absence fee. You are allowed to arive to camp late or leave early to accomadate these conflicts while still meeting your duties as a Guardians member.
We do time share with indoor drumlines and winterguard when need be. When you are offered a "contract" you are offered a position as a Guardians member for the given season. If you are offered a callback, we request that you come to our next camp so we can evaluate your improvement from camp to camp. We ask that you focus first on dates that do not conflict with Guardians. We understand that there may be conflicts with taking the ACT or attending your college orientation and we will do everything we can to try and work through these scenarios.
Planning accordingly and communicating is the key if no options exist. There are opportunities to lower the tuition by successfully fundraising, parent involvement, and sponsorship from companies and friends. There are scholarship opportunities for students of parents that volunteer their time to the organization. This ranges from truck driving, food service, souvie booth, prop building, truck outiffting, uniform alterations, and much more.
They do NOT have to spend their entire summer with us either! Many of our members have had success in funding their corps experience through sponsorship. We do a workshop on sponsorships, and help you with putting together packages and letters to ask for sponsorships. Be advised that all members will be required to pay the full dues amount in order to participate in the Guardians.
If you anticipate needing assistance with funds, it is best to get started as early as possible and discuss your situation with the corps director. In short, start saving NOW and you'll be ready in June! No, your outstanding debts must be paid before you can become eligible to join Guardians. You must: -be between ages of 14 to 22 years old -be able to fulfill financial requirements -be able to get to and from rehearsals and events safely.
With a quarter of our members being of college age, we deal with issues like this all the time. Most colleges have more than one set of dates for orientation. With our season ending in July, it is usually early enough that you would be at an orientation prior to school. We will do whatever we have to do to make it work, as long as we can avoid you missing a major DCI event.
Typically, the orientation is only days. We deal with it on a case-by-case basis. Attend the audition camp in November, go through the process, and when you decide on your school, or maybe you have already, let us know the dates in question, and we will look at the tour schedule, and see what can be worked out.
Last year, a lot of membership was in the exact situation and we were able to work this out in every case. Please understand that the more notice we have, the easier it is to work these type of conflicts out. Just like last year, we will bring a couple alternates on tour this summer. Over the past several years, the majority of alternates have ended up performing with the corps by the end of the season.
We will likely NOT be going to Indianapolis this season. Since we only see you once a month, it is critical that you be at all required camps for their entire duration.
Unexcused absence can cause you to be moved to alternate status, or to be removed from the roster all together. Be sure to address all conflicts with your Caption Head and the Corps Director as soon as you are aware of them. Yes we do. In some situations we allow payments to go into July, but your payment plan should end by June when we move in. You can read more about our schedule here.
You can find the latest information here. The event page will have a list of things to bring. You can find the event pages by clicking on the event on our calendar page. Attend the earliest camp available to you. To participate in the Guardians, you must attend all camps or submit a video audition to secure a spot as a member. Once we have gathered information about the members who have attended our initial camps, drill is written for the number of students we anticipate and for the talent level of the students we anticipate marching.
By not attending camps, you drastically decrease your chance of obtaining a spot. Remember: Marching is a privelege, not a right. Communication is the key to success. All participants will be required to stay on site during the duration of the camp unless a conflict is communicated to the administration. You can find details in your registration.
Even if you choose to not march with the Guardians, by auditioning, you will receive a form with precise feedback from some of the best educators in the state regarding your audition and how you can improve as a musician and marcher.
You will improve as a musician and marcher whether or not you commit to the Guardians for the complete season. We do not have enough instruments for all auditioning members. Guard students should bring a flag, rifle and sabre if possible. This does not apply to front ensemble auditionees. You can find more information about the camps on our calendar page.

Madison Scouts, Blue Stars. Spirit of Atlanta. Could I audition for all three by video? Well I can't pay for three camps! I'd say to start saving up too and go to the Scouts camp. If you work your butt off, you might be surprised that you'll get a call back. If not, you will already have the experience and next year you'll have an even better chance making it, because you'll already know what to expect. Find out where the corps you're interested in are practicing and show up to the rehearsal sites and politely request from someone not an instructor who is working at the time if it might be possible for you to meet someone in management to express your desire in marching their corps.
Ask if it might be possible to meet the tuba tech during a break and ask for advice. Also ask to meet a fitness trainer with the corps to find out what you would need to be able to do physically. Don't be a pest about it, but be sincere and be patient, because it might be a few hours before anyone could realistically spend a little time with you. I think you'll find these people will be happy to say "hello" and give you some advice, but you've got to ask for it at a time when they aren't running around in pre-show panic mode.
