 DrumCorpsPlanet is happy to present our latest installment of LiveWire - with this edition featuring Gil Silva, President of Drum Corps Associates. As the President of DCA and a successful businessman, Mr. Silva's schedule is insanely busy this time of year, preparing for the upcoming DCA performance and competition season. However, we were able to capture a few moments of his time to respond to some of the questions posed by our forum readers. Our sincere thanks to Gil and DCA Director of Marketing and Public Relations, Fred Windish, for taking the time to put this together and making this edition of LiveWire possible.

 As promised, our man Cozy Baker is back with his impressions of last week's Loud Music Symposium at the San Francisco Bay Area's Campbell Heritage Theater. This Renegades sponsored evening of decibel worshipers has apparently cast its spell upon another new disciple.
Drum Corps Associates member corps have thankfully managed to maintain individual identities. It's a diverse group in philosophy of performance and appearance style. Beyond competition rulebook requirements, fans CAN tell our performers apart and find something new to like every twenty minutes, or so. Any performance by the San Francisco Renegades is a much anticipated happening.

Selecting The Mouthpiece That's Best For You!!!
 Selecting a mouthpiece can be as mind-boggling as choosing a horn. The choices are endless and at times a bit confusing for a beginner as well as a professional. You'll find mouthpieces made from all sorts of materials in all types of shapes, sizes, colors, cup styles, throat sizes, rim thicknesses, bore tapers and price ranges made by manufacturers all guaranteeing that their products are indeed "the best" in the world.
To make things easier for you in selecting the right mouthpiece I think it's important to first understand the components of a brass mouthpiece.

Drum corps is as much about people as it is about music, possibly more so. We all thirst for opinions about our beloved, yet somewhat specialized and secret passion. Our next door neighbor is likely to express an unsolicited take on major league baseball, the Super Bowl, etc., but when was the last time the friend on your block ran over to gush about someone's new horn instructor?
DCA's resident wordsmith, Cozy Baker is back with his take on our upcoming all-age season . . . and I thought I was enthusiastic about the coming months!
Here's a heads up, Cozy returns from Loud Music Symposium today. Think he was into it? |

**SITE OFFLINE**
DCP will be offline intermittently overnight (May 3-4) to give us time to complete some maintenance duties that are leftover from the server move. We plan to perform these tasks during our least-busy hours - between 3am and 7am EDST (midnight to 4am PDST). If you encounter the site down during those hours, please check back later.
Thank you for your patience and support.
John Donovan
Publisher, DCP |
