Yes, since there must be some great talent in the NE area who could help the corps reach their goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weekends between September and June are crazy for me, so I do not get to see too many high school band competitions, but I know King Philip in Wrentham, MA has an excellent marching band and its shows are designed by Ed Devlin. Dartmouth High School has a good marching program and has a WGI presence. I know folks who either are or have been involved with Dennis Yarmouth (on the Cape), Jordan Case (Swansea), Melrose, and Mansfield who say these schools strongly support drum corps. A non-school all age band from the Cape, Spirit of America out of Orleans, has an excellent brass choir, a WGI champion percussion ensemble, and has had some members march with Cadets, including a young man who was one of Cadets top soloists. Then there are also the schools that have excellent music programs but do not have as strong a marching component, especially the private schools, Catholic schools, and charter schools. The talent exists, but it's largely untapped. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluehull Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 The band from the Cape is a religious organization that set the field on fire during a performance several years ago. They were lighting a flame to bring attention to the content of the show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spirit of America is affiliated with the Community of Jesus which includes Episcopalian monks and nuns who follow the Rule of St. Benedict. They also have a good number of lay men and women and families as members. I believe their book publishing company is their major source of income which is how I came to know the group, but their music programs are their pride and joy. They have an Advent/Christmas concert that is well worth the trip. They are also located near Capt'n Cass' Seafood, a somewhat out of the way place with amazing seafood and a Rock Harbor which has amazing sunsets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the tips about the concert, seafood, and sunsets. Edited October 29, 2017 by xandandl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
