TomMoore Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Happy new year indeed! Just back from mini-camp which saw continued great progress on Dies Irae, including some quality ensemble time with the battery and pit, capped by a run-through. It's gonna peel back faces all summer! The hornline also learned A Simple Song and it has promise to be a beautiful and memorable piece.

Loiswt Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 OMG I can't believe how much fun it was watching and listening to 2009 Buccaneers. You have got to see this!!!!!! If you are on the fence and wondering if this is the year to be a Buccaneer, my answer would be yes!!!!! Come out to the next camp, check it out, play in the line and enjoy the music, comraderie and sheer power of this program. The opener is AWESOME!!!!!! Lois Quote
dafepd Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Lois: I really did believe you were joking about your wrists until I witnessed it LIVE yesterday! I don't know how I missed that at the banquet! Glad you're on the mend though! GET BETTER! If you are on the fence I think I'm on that fence! Are there some TEMPS in the BUCS organization who can temporarily do my job this summer?

Mike McMullen Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 I'm with you Dave, but I need a temporary parent to stay home with my drum corps hating daughters. Quote
TomMoore Posted January 5, 2009 Author Posted January 5, 2009 Two adjectives to describe the opener (other than 'loud') at this point: menacing, aggressive. Be part of the menace! Quote

Dave Faust Reading Buccaneers There were allot of people that thought I was kidding....but it's true I did break both of my wrists at the Buccaneer Banquet over the Thanksgiving weekend and I have the 5 inch scar on my left arm and a plate and several screws inside to prove it. I hear it will be lots of fun going thru airports from now on. Lois Edited January 5, 2009 by Loiswt Quote
