Edit: I am adding ONE amplified instrument. I will accept 1 electric bass player, especially since Contra players are so hard to come by, it will also add energy and foundation to the sound. 11 spots. 6 are on hold 1st reh. is scheduled for April 21 w/ a possible kickoff bash on 4/20 @ <location????> I expect to have arr. for Crown Imperial and Malaguena ready to go. Crown Imp. will feature the entire group, Mal. will feature me on solo bar. and a special guest on either the Mellophone or Soprano (whichever horn he wants.... his choice thats all i ll say)...... ..... bump.

SopRuss Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Chris, this sounds like something I always wanted to be a part of. Experts only on G bugle playing 80's and 90's drum corps music! I think you will be very successful. If I wasn't going to be rehearsing and performing with the Renegades I would like to audition. I look forward to the inevitable Youtube videos of your group, and hopefully I'll catch a performance on the the Renegades LA tour. Best of Luck!

THX ALISHA!!!! Chris Welke, CEO, Sr. Media Law Analyst, EP, Lonely Faction Prodxns (a non-profit org.) Director, The Greenlight Advantage Minicorps Since you are obviously going to be the very definition of "old skool", may we also assume that the sweet electric bass guitar will also be pitched in "G"? Cuz we all noez that only the "G" electric bass can provide the proper amount of "Bow Chicka Bow Wow" for a G-Petatonic scale. There's no skool like the old skool, yo! p.s. If I play Mellow, but I have a intense tone quality, could I just go ahead and play Mello instead? U know, to avoid any confusion. p.s.s. Rut-Roh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry p Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Yeah Mephi stop, I was thinen the same thing. AND If it's only 10 members and you still need 2/5ths more to fill out the group, it must be reeeaaally difficult to get in. Good luck. Well, cheerio old chap and do have a goodly day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I marched 16 years of corps, both in DCI and DCA, and I was never asked to play a G-pentatonic scale, or any pentatonic scale, or mixolydian, or anything like that. I was wondering why someone would need to know those scales in a mini-corps type setting? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you can't be the foshizzle without the mixolyzzle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
