What type of time commitment does Phenom require?
Phenom is constructed to operate with a minimal impact on your ‘normal summer’ schedule while still fostering an educationally based environment for you to succeed as a performer in the pageantry arts. There is still the very important need to make sure you are fully able to commit to all of the Phenom summer schedule before you sign your membership contract.
The 2021 Phenom daily schedule will be 12 hours in length and follow this breakdown:
8:00am - 8:45am - Arrival & Prep for Day
9:00am - 12:00pm - Rehearsal
12:00pm - 1:00pm - Meal Break
1:00pm - 4:00pm - Rehearsal
4:00pm - 5:00pm - Meal Break
5:00pm - 9:00pm - Rehearsal
9:00pm - 9:30pm - Clean Up & Dismissal
The time commitment with the ensemble is very important, and your attendance is required for each and every rehearsal. You will be expected to come fully prepared mentally, musically, and physically.
If I get a membership contract, how much does the season cost?
Phenom Drum & Bugle Corps is constantly striving to be one of the most affordable summer music performance opportunities in Arizona and across Drum Corps International.
The following will outline what it will cost to be a member of Phenom for the 2021 season:
2021 Audition/Registration Fee: Free!

Cost of meals on food breaks (Bring a cooler lunch to keep costs low)
