6.3 Rehearsals (Drum corps)

It should be pointed out that senior corps are comprised of people
who are, for the most part, not young anymore. They are people who have
careers under way, families in the making, houses needing painting, and
all the other wonderous (more like ponderous) things that happen on the
threshold of "mid-life." This reduces the amount of time that senior
corps have to operate. Serior corps members are the epitome of the
weekend warrior and the weekend starts 8:00 pm Friday and ends
somewhere near 8:00 pm the following Sunday. There are a few breaks so
the members can revel in some old fashioned comradeship.

The senior season runs from mid April (first of the senior
versions of camps) to Labor Day weekend (the ever lovin' Championship
weekend).
