Hiya! Do you have any advice for phantom callbacks? I'm so so nervous, I can't imagine getting cut so late in the game, I don't know what to do ._.
(You can hop off of anon btw or shoot me a FB message)
>My best advice is listen, ask questions. Look at the details they’re not telling you because they’re not going to explain everything little thing. I.e. if Pelka is teaching a toss, pay attention to not only that but also what are her feet doing? What are the free hands? etc.
>A lot of times people say fight for the front (but they’re right when it comes to learning choreo), but they always rotate the lines. Also techs will circle around the block. Midori sees ALL.
>Realize that they’re watching you the entire weekend and not only your small group audition; that’s a huge reason why people choke up.
>Perform and live through every moment. A huge part of being a Phantomette is performance and it’s def harder to teach than good hands.
>Prioritize basics as much as the choreo. Don’t flub through things because you’re so worried about trick tosses. It’s cool when people can toss a double turn around catch in a tilt but if you’re 45 planes are garbage, what are you learning here.
>Have a good attitude. If you’re having trouble with something, ASK QUESTIONS. Vets love questions so much. You’re the phuture of this drum corps. We’re not here to leave you in the dust. If anything, I have always gone to auditions welcomed with nothing but love. I’ve never experienced anything like it.
>In addition to having a good attitude, staff wants to see what they’re working with. There’s no such like as the perfect audition, just the perfect approach. Message me or any of the vets if you have any questions
