Not being able to NOT watch Carolina Gold's Colorguard. Well staged, Well choreographed and well performed. Watching Bushwackers from the back. Impressed. Playing the opening statement with Govies and realizing there are only 12 of us producing such a big sound.

Good thing Fleur de Lis isn't new to this ;-)

Boston Crusaders seem to be doing well in Florida.

Fleur de Lis, Chicago Enforcers and Chicago Sound out for this season, dont have time to redo captions. See you all next off season

Did all my captions to the values that were listed a week ago. Now I have to redo them all. Hopefully I can find the time to sit down to adjust them or I'll have to sit out this season. Bummer.

For the most part Govies hornline have about a 75-80% turnover consistently from year to year. In 2013, we had what was a huge rookie class (for us at least) of 6 in the hornline and 10 of 12 returning members from the 2012 season.

Experienced something identical this winter. If you ever see anything associated with L.E.A.P., keep your kids away. Was stuck figuring how to get a group to WGI. We made it and the kids still talk about the event. Help them people

Can you send pictures to bobbybonslater@gmail.com? Thanks

In 1927, the original incarnation of the Govenaires Drum and Bugle corps formed in St. Peter, Minnesota. About 1,800 miles away during that same time, a small district outside of Los Angeles was just beginning its golden era. Many ventured out west for a different kind of fortune. In Hollywood, you didn’t just become famous. You became immortal. But making it to silver screen fame isn’t without its pitfalls... This summer, the Govenaires will perform their 2013 production: Chasing Hollywood The production begins with the "Prologue" from Cy Coleman’s City of Angels, a fast-paced number that sends you through the rat-race of trying to "make it". Once you see your name on the marquee and witness everyone clamoring for your attention, it’s hard not to live it "Sparkling Diamonds" from the movie musical Moulin Rouge celebrates the rewards of fame. But the Hollywood high-life can get ugly fast. Musical moments from the classic film Sunset Boulevard show how nasty a tinsel-town downfall can get. Fame takes its toll, and can lead to loneliness and disappointment. The show transitions into one of the most gorgeous ballads that a drum corps can play: "Send in the Clowns" by Stephen Sondheim. The final act in a Govenaires show, however, always ends big and loud. The corps closes with "Don’t Rain on my Parade" from the musical Funny Girl. This summer, the Govenaires will bring plenty of drama. Just remember to bring popcorn. If you’re interested in becoming a Govenaire, there are openings in every section. The next rehearsal dates are Feb. 16 and 17 at St. Peter High School. Saturday rehearsal runs 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday rehearsal goes from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. www.Goveanires.org

Yes, I got the message. I'll send you a reply later today.

We don't compete, but we have smaller ensembles. Currently a competitive indoor drumline, and a couple after school drumlines and colorguards. There is interest in continuing our brass ensemble. Private message me with your contact info and I can give you more details.

Literally.

Madion Scouts -75th anniversay -Didn't mic screamers -Guaranteed to get the longest standing ovation My other three corps .... folded :(

I found come video and clips on youtube a few months back.

Make jokes, just be ready to turn your hearing aids down, AMPED PITS ARE COMING TO DCA!!! And then comes the sythns, and then the narration, and screamers on mics. I can't wait to drive you all crazy. Maybe that'll shut you all up.

I agree. You guys complain too much and it's sickening.

Seeing as alot of other director didn't get the memo from the lack of corps in the score reports, will Sweepstacks be suspended this season, or a new way to tally points be given. I hope this picks up soon, such a turn off.

Would have been nice for this important announcement to be sent out over email. Just saying, I've missed 6 days of the season. Not everyone is a DCP troll.

Each DCI is hosted by different corps and sponsors. Just with DCI Open Class Corps, DCA have to be invited to perform in the show. Govenaires don't usually have that problem here in the north, we actually are requested to perform at a number of DCI shows.

Here in Chicago, the public schools have two different types of school schedules: Regular track which start school which start the last week in August and end beginning of June with regular length winter and Spring breaks. Track E which start early August and end mid June with Fall, Winter and Spring Break which are all two weeks long. What is happening here is that more College students go for World Class Corps with more high school students taking advantage of the Open Class corps in the area along with the summer programs which focus on corps-style drumming, dancing and spinning that are available in the city.

Same here. I have caption from last off season and can't change them.

Steady fast air stream to increase velocity of the the lip buzz. I teach my students to slightly roll the lips inward to play higher notes, which will create a smaller apperture.
