May and June Camp Report

The Mandarins have been busy the past few weekends with the last couple of camps leading up to our annual training camp.

We now have the opener, 2nd production and first few sets of the percussion feature on the field. We are looking to have the entire show on the field after the first few days of our Sacramento training camp, which will begin Friday night, June 11. You can see a schedule of the week here: http://mandarins.org/auditions/detail.html

The Memorial Day camp included a performance skills session with Shirley Dorritie. Shirley has extensive drum corps experience and is a member of the DCI Hall of Fame. She has combined this experience with an MA in Counseling Psychology to provide a basis for successful performance techniques. Her session was very valuable in getting the staff and members visualize and execute enhanced performances.

We still have a few spots left: guard, tuba and baritone sections have openings. If you are interested, please contact the individual caption heads through the email links on our staff page here: http://mandarins.org/about/info.html
