Drum Corps International Audition questions??

General
I'm seriously thinking about auditioning for DCI
Does any of my watchers have experience with DCI and the audition process and how the audition camps are run? I'm planning on auditioning on mellophone but I know that my chances of getting in on that would be slim so maybe I should audition on baritone instead? Also how would someone go about preparing for an audition of that degree. I've auditioned for smaller bands in the past and those are always tedious, I can't imagine how the auditions are for DCI. Was also thinking about auditioning for the marine band or something like that. But DCI is my main focus as of right now.
but yo let me know if you have any info/can point me in the right direction!

The audition process is something I have no idea about. I know that you would have to know your scales really well.
