WHY JOIN IMPACT?
IMPACT values a fun and creative environment, while striving for performance excellence in all we do. Entertaining audiences and providing an all-inclusive positive environment for our members and staff is the driving force behind our program.
Although we are a primarily an adult organization, performers under eighteen are most certainly welcome but will have to be accompanied by a parent or guardian for any extended travel.
We schedule performances all year long and offer a Drum Corps experience at a fraction of the cost! We are able to keep our member participation fees low by expecting our members to plan their own travel.
PERFORMERS EXPENSES:
In 2025, member participation fees will be $450.
Fees can be paid in full or broken up into scheduled payments for convenience.
Dues must be paid in full by May 1.
IMPACT does not include travel expenses in our dues structure. We will work, however, to get travel expenses down, by setting up group hotel reservations and organizing group transportation and carpools where applicable.
Fundraising opportunities may also be available to help ease the out-of-pocket costs associated with membership.
TRAVEL:
Most performance opportunities throughout the year are within Florida. During the summer competition season, we have opportunities to perform at Drum Corps shows throughout the south.
In 2025 we are looking to schedule 3 competitions. They will be on weekends in the summer. The first competition will be around the weekend of July 5th. Our ‘big’ event of the season will take place in Indianapolis, IN at DCI Finals where we perform in Sound Sport competition!
AUDITIONS:
There are no formal auditions required to be considered for membership to IMPACT. Members of all skill level are always welcome. We require only hard work and positive attitude.
OPEN SPOTS: IMPACT is currently looking to fill spots in the Brass Line and Percussion. While all sections are open, our current needs are in the Trumpet and Low Brass sections.
REHEARSALS: IMPACT rehearses biweekly on Sundays in Orlando. Occasionally we will add additional rehearsals to prepare for special events. It is expected that members attend most, if not all rehearsals.
