Mandarins Drum and Bugle Corps will present the first of its kind Member Career Day during our spring training. Mandarins are dedicated to providing our members with education opportunities and resources in the performing arts and beyond. Members will have the ability to meet with and discuss future college and career plans with top professionals in many fields - including law, medicine, health services, law enforcement, marketing, technology, education and of course, music.

High school members will be able to ask questions about future college choices and potential career decisions while college age members will have the opportunity to learn about the challenges and benefits of graduate degrees and possible careers. Mandarins will be posting the biographies of the participating professionals closer to spring training. We are grateful that the newly formed Advisory Board has enthusiastically supported this new program and will provide many of the presenting professionals. The 2025 members will have access to these professionals through a new mentorship program even after the season concludes.

Mandarins are focused on the well-being and success of our members even after they graduate from our programs.
