In 2024, we are operating under the 'SoundSport' umbrella. SoundSport is an organization through DCI that is meant to help younger performing arts organizations like ours get off the ground and gain interest. However,it is our goal to enter DCI's Open Class as soon as we can.

We accept ages 14+ for our 2024 season. We highly recommend at least one year of high school marching experience, but this is not required. Members should also have experience reading sheet music.

If you do not play a brass or percussion instrument, we would still love to hear you audition. You can reach out to us for more information about auditioning on an instrument you are familiar/unfamiliar with at: theboisegems@gmail.com

Member fees for the 2024 season will be $550, not including any audition or camp fees. 

This covers food, travel and operations costs, equipment costs, and much more.

The 2024 audition process for each caption consists of slightly different content, however you can expect to demonstrate fundamental marching skills, music skills, as well as musicianship/performer skills.

Audition information can be found under 'Audition Information'.

Our member's education is first and formost. Their school commitments come first, which they must consider before signing their member contract, which will detail things like rehearsal dates and performance dates. 

We will address scheduling conflicts on a case-by-case basis with each of our members.
