AUDITIONS ARE COMING! Check back for dates, soon to come. Interested in auditioning? Here's the scoop:
Black Watch competes in the Independent World division of WGI. There is no age limit, but most members are college students or college grads/working professionals. Members are expected to have previous experience in competitive color guard/drum corps. Auditions are held in September (check back soon for dates). Rehearsals are held every weekend (Fri-Sun) from November through the first weekend in May, generally in the Philadelphia/South Jersey Region. Fees vary from year to year based on estimated costs, but in general, are comparable to other Independent World guards. Beginning in mid-January, the color guard usually has a competition every Saturday, competing locally in the TIA circuit and travelling 4 times a season to WGI regionals and championships. The season ends on the first weekend in May. Housing is provided on weekends to those members who are travelling from out-of-state.
