    You will start by jumping in with a full-corps stretch and visual basics, then head off to the section of your choice to observe and participate in warm-ups. If you wish, bring your drum sticks or mouthpiece and get a chance to test out the Blue Devils equipment.

    You will then join the corps in their ensemble rehearsal, seeing the show from the vantage of the top of the stadium and down on the floor as well.
