.gif) Three of our members share their thoughts and impressions about our past two training camps.
Zach Headden, Drum Major
The April camp was intense, to say the least. It started off like any usual Spring camp; showing up and opening the truck at about 7:30 am, then painting the field with the mellophones. But the next thing I know I'm driving to another site to help the colorguard paint their rehearsal field. After about 20 minutes with the guard we rushed back to Diamond Bar for visual block with horns and battery. \

 The Madison Scouts tap into the passionate and industrious rhythms of Latin-American compositions for their 2008 production titled La Noche de la Iguana. This exploration of cultural evolution begins (inteligencia) with the complex Mayan society and integrates interpretations of La Noche de los Mayas by Silvestre Revueltas, Danza de los Duendes by Nancy Galbraith and the Estancia Suite & Harp Concerto by Ginastera.La Noche de la Iguana
The show transitions to Danzon No. 2 by Arturo Márquez to reflect the passion (pasión) of the people. This dark and melodic piece is sure to delight audiences with its texture and intensity. The production concludes with Concierto Candela for Solo Percussion & Orchestra by Gabriela Ortiz, a rhythmic and dynamic exploration that reflects the frenetic pace and progress (progreso) of the now modern day society.

 Spring has arrived on the calendar, but its arrival in Racine is nothing more than a rumor. That is part of the unique charm of spring drum corps in this part of the county. Outdoor Spring rehearsals can be downright bone chilling, and our April camp was just that, with 40-mile-per-hour winds accompanying temperatures that never made it out of the 40s. Some would have you think that rehearsing in such conditions builds character, but I believe that effectively rehearsing in such conditions takes an intense collective resolve and character to begin with. I’m happy to report that despite the less than optimal conditions, the Kilties were able to put the first 2 Movements of “Renaissance” on the field.
