I want to march in DCI as contra..?

I play the sousaphone in our high school band. I'm 5'6" and a 110 pound girl. Is there a way I can prepare physically?
I was wondering, I want to march contra in DCI and I wanted to know how I would audition because I don't know how to march with the contra. Would I audition with my sousaphone?

I don't really understand what you're asking for. Do you mean a certain current stage production? Or all the people that have played the Phantom on stage? Film?

Here's a long list that played the Phantom in film, but I'm not sure if it's complete: http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0027299/...

Norm Lewis currently plays the Phantom in New York.

In London, Michael Crawford originally played the Phantom, but the role is currently played by Geronimo Rauch.

There are TONS more.

Question for drummers?

Im still a beginner in drums. My question is simple. I often see drummers in concerts or performances, most of the time, they have laptops beside them, just at the left side of their kit where they can easily reach it. What is the use of the laptop? My first guess is that its used for modifying the sound and effect of the drums. Though i aint sure

I wanna know how much will i pay to rent-to-own an instrument, such as a flute or trombone?

How much does it cost at Mississippi Music? (for people dat live in MS, please answer dis question)

Thanks! :)

And btw, i already talked to my band director about it, thumbs up. :D

Yes. The notes that sound right are: the same note as the one being played
The same note but an octave higher or lower
Notes that are part of the scale the song is using

Also, if there's a guitar player, the bassist can play what's called an "arpeggio" which is each note of the chord played one at a time instead of all at once.

Vintage Broadway Audition Songs?

So my choir has a themed show every year and this year is 'Vintage Broadway'. This means broadway musicals from the 90's and earlier. I need some audition song ideas. I'm an Alto. I'm looking for either a solo or a group of girls, 4 people or less. Please help (:
