Before San Antonio through Winston salem Very hot And from all indications through finals, Global Warming this has been brutal on the corps along with stomach, flu like symptoms, and of course some covid, The Brass Shop has delt with it also

If Seattle has member recruiting issues maybee consider The Academy in AZ they have a great program and staff

Dynasty and Kanstul are both out of business

Ken Norman was ONE of a kind, loved to talk and show off his innovations, he will be missed Paul Collins Formerly The Brass Shop

Had the wonderful opportunity to talk with michael at Open class in Michigan city 2018, my 30th and final year on tour. He did an interview with me as I fixed his Concert Euphonium. When we were done he asked how much I said nothing , talking with you with your wealth of knowledge was more than enough. He did by the way go across the street to DQ and brought back Cones for both of us. What a wonderful person RIP Mr.Boo RIP

My Knowing Fred Morris for years, he has a LONG history within the activity, I can say there is not a nicer relaxed person than Fred, He was a performer , a BOD member Souvie sales with a broken foot, always a good word. Enjoy Fred , I am enjoying my retirement I do not miss the work but I do miss the marching members tremendiously

With The Rochester Crusaders we had WAXER and Vince Bruni called everybody porkchop

I have no idea what his contact info is BUT you may want to contact Ken Norman, Racine Wi. The last I knew he still has SOME parts

The Brass Shop has been contacted by an older board member of a world class corps He is looking for 1 old style French horn Piston Rotor. If you have such an animal please contact the brass shop @ thebrassshop29@gmail.com or call my cell 608-770-1421 Thank you Paul Collins

When The Brass Shop and Phantom Regiment were at the same shows DR.DAN always stopped to say hi and how are things going. What a gentleman and Corps supporter. He definitely will be missed. Paul Collins The brass Shop

Being in the parking lots for 29 years repairing instruments I have seen this activity grow from 2 busses 1 truck and a food wagon of sorts. 1oo members plus staff and volunteers of approx. another 15 (115) to 150 members plus up to 50 staff and volunteers (200 and more) also Corps today run 3 and 4 busses plus Staff busses 2 or 3, 3 and 4 trailers, 1 or 2 box trucks, vans and chase vehicles is one huge undertaking. I hear of budgets from $900,000.00 to almost 3million. The first show this year there was a small issue getting everybody in the lot that was just 6 corps, and they filled it. This has not been a mom and pop organization for years, it's year round with offices , storage , rehersal facilities. office staffs from 3 to 8 or 9. This is Large business folks. I know what I spend just for Fuel for a 13000 mile 40 show tour , 1 vehicle roughly 60 days runs between 2300.00 and 2600.00 Figure what fuel costs are for busses 5 to 6 mpg , tractor trailers,maybee 8mpg, box trucks etc do 10,000 miles and 25 shows. I believe a lot of people could live very well on what it costs just for fuel. NOT a joke a corps 5 yrs ago fueled everything at once 3 busses 2 tractor trailers staff vehicles, etc well there goes $20,000.

Saw 2 runs sat nite and sun nite. of course sun better than sat. They are already pushing, great program, corps working very hard, I think folks will be very surprised

all I know is he lives in the Racine wisc. area

Try Contacting Kenny Norman,, I sold him all the old parts I had from the Piston Rotor era

Really Keith Rochester has lost the Corps, Kodak, Xerox, and others. My last trip home to Rochester was disappointing to say the least. There's nothing left the economy is way down, and winters are still brutal. I left to move the Brass Shop to the Midwest and now NC. You need to go and see for yourself Paul The Brass Shop

You get what you pay for, My nephew is a graphic artist he told one of his customers if you want cheap, go that way and you get what you pay for

I really think it will be much easier to sell individually
