JOIN THE MOVEMENT …..
The Next Step Movement Academy presents the opportunity for your band and color guard students to train with some of the top movement instructors on the West Coast, gaining valuable skills for the upcoming marching band season!
Camp includes movement instruction including warm-ups, choreography, and across the floors, as well as camp t-shirt, admission to the Corps at the Crest Drum Corps Show & Next Step Student Experience at the Rose Bowl.
Students will register by level of experience. Whether a brand new member or returning veteran, each class will be designed to broaden the student’s knowledge and skill at each level.
The Next Step Student Experience offers students the opportunity to explore and interact with parts of the Rose Bowl that only the drum corps performers get to experience.
Your afternoon begins at check-in where you will receive a Swag Bag filled with products from competing drum corps and their sponsors. You then will walk down the tunnel and on to the historic field of the Rose Bowl where you will meet the Drum Majors and Section Leaders of the Pacific Crest Drum and Bugle Corps. Take pictures with friends and other students from camp, from the perspective of an actual drum corps performer.
Next you will take a tour through the souvenir booths then onto your seat in the stands to watch some of the best Drum and Bugle Corps in the World.
