Lots vs Seasonside

Lots is the drum corps app: auditions, corps, shows, and a place where the people who do this get celebrated for it. AUDITIONS Thinking about marching? Lots keeps audition camps from across drum corps in one place: each camp's date and where it is, plus the fees each corps posts. On a corps page, tap Remind me on any camp and Lots nudges you the day before. Follow the corps you're auditioning for and Lots keeps you posted when they add a camp or move one. Signed up to audition? Home can point you to an open camp in or near your state. CORPS TALK Ask a corps anything. Fans, families and anyone auditioning can ask with a free account, and verified members answer in the open, where anyone can read along: what a day on tour is like, how a camp runs, what a season costs, what to practice before December. Add a photo or a GIF to your question, and Lots lets you know when someone answers. Verified members find the questions still waiting on their corps, plus the ones asked of every corps, in one place. MEMBERS Get verified with your corps, and your page holds your seasons, posts and photos. It stays, verified badge and all, after your last season. • Once you're verified, post photos, Live Photos and videos up to 30 seconds, and choose who sees each one: everyone, members, your corps or only you • A private journal tab on your profile for the stuff that isn't for the feed • Cheer on members of every corps with a like or a comment HOME Something new every day: drum corps videos, news, a weekly poll, a daily quiz and stories from more than 50 years of scores. Things you've already seen step aside for new ones. SHOW NIGHTS Every show of the season gets its own live page. Cheer your corps from the stands or from home while they're on the field, call the night's closest races and see scores as soon as they post. See who's going to any upcoming show, and RSVP with a free account. FOR FANS AND FAMILY Browse Lots without an account. Follow the corps you love and keep up with the summer schedule as it's announced. PRIVACY AND SAFETY • Free, with no ad trackers, and we don't sell your data • No private messages, for anyone • Uploaded photos are scanned automatically before they post • Report a post, comment or answer, or block the person behind it, from its ••• menu • Delete your account any time from Settings Lots is an independent project, made by people who love drum corps.

Seasonside is a community app for neighbors in the South Bay and Long Beach, California. It exists to make one thing easy: finding, joining, and hosting recurring hobby groups with your neighbors. A book club that meets monthly. A walking group on Saturday mornings. A game night that becomes a tradition. Not one-off events with strangers you'll never see again, but the kind of regular gathering where familiar faces slowly become friends. WHAT'S INSIDE Groups: Browse sixteen interest communities, from readers and outdoors to food, games, parents, and pets. Join a drop-in club anytime, or commit to a season club, a small group that meets together through a real calendar season (spring, summer, fall, or winter), then wraps up and decides what's next. Events: See what's coming up near you, RSVP in two taps, and get a reminder before it starts. Open events welcome anyone in the neighborhood. Plaza: The town square. Local happenings, things neighbors are giving away, questions for the neighborhood, and local businesses. Chats: Group conversations and direct messages with the people you actually meet. No follower counts, no public performance. Shelf: Your personal record of life in your neighborhood. Collections, local challenges, and the small mementos of a season well spent. Hosting: Anyone can host. Seasonside handles the RSVPs, the reminders, and the scheduling, so being the person who brings people together stops feeling like a second job. WHAT SEASONSIDE IS NOT Not a dating app. That's a structural rule, not a suggestion. No algorithmic feed deciding what you see. No streaks, no engagement bait, no pressure to open the app daily. If you come twice a week and make it to one gathering a month, that's success. The point of Seasonside is what happens off your phone. ONE AREA AT A TIME Seasonside opens one area at a time, each with its own groups, events, and Plaza: San Pedro & the Peninsula, Long Beach, the Beach Cities, and Torrance, Gardena, Carson & Lomita. Enter your ZIP code to see if your area is open. If it isn't yet, you can get your area's free local newsletter on our website in the meantime. We'd rather do each place well than every place thinly. Local means local. Seasonside is free to join. Friendship, in season.
