Thank you so much for showing interest in becoming a member of the ECU
Marching Pirates Colorguard. We are super excited about the upcoming
fall season and look forward to seeing you in August! We have come up
with some specific skills and needs we will ask of you at auditions.
What to wear?
Please come in clothes you can dance and move well in. Please also wear
comfortable shoes because we will be on our feet a lot. We also ask that
you bring a big water bottle or jug with you to stay hydrated.
What is expected? (The audition process)
First and foremost, bring a great attitude and willingness to learn. We will be evaluating you in movement and flag technique. The actual
process will be broken down into the first two days we are together. During these first two days you will be asked to demonstrate but not
limited to the following:
Movement Skills
-
Jazz Runs
-
Chasse`s
-
Saute`s
-
Passe`
-
Chaine` turns
-
Tour jete`s
-
Rolls
These are a few movement skills that will be
demonstrated and taught
over the audition.
Flag Basics
-
Drop Spins (left and right)
-
Pull Hits (left and right)
-
Carves
-
Thump Flips
-
Tosses(45 degree tosses, ext.)
We will also help you with these skills if you are not familiar with
them and give you a little time to understand them. You will also be
expected to learn a dance combination and a flag combination to see how
well you pick up choreography.
You will also have the opportunity to spin rifle. I realize that this
may be a completely new adventure for some of you and we are excited
about the possibilities this offers. If you can get your hands on a
rifle before the audition and start practicing that would be amazing,
but if not, we are willing to start fresh and see how much interest we
have from you in August.
If you would like to bring your own pole to the audition that if
completely fine with us, but if not we will provide one for you.
Thank you so much again for your interest and if you have any further
questions at all, please feel free to email me at
