  1. I didn't know there was a show there. We would love to play with you. I'll have to look into it. If anyone has a contact for that show, can you froward the info to me? We are going to be in the Chicago area for the week or so of July 4th. We will be in Dixon as well as Michigan City. As of right now we will only perform in the parades, not the shows. Shara
  2. Yes we are still around and doing well. STB will be a parade corps again this year. We will have several weekend trips as well as a tour. Currently we have 22 members and the potential for some more comming in for April camp. We have our parade tune learned (Scotland the Brave) as well as our opener, "Make His Praise Glorious" and the ballad is being learned as well. The male members have a new uniform and the female members will be wearing the kilted skirts. The guard will be in new uniforms as well. We are currently looking for members (prefer ages 22 or under) to march in the horn line, guard, or snare line. If interested, or for more information contact me at: vibeplayer@hotmail.com Forever Plaid! Shara Barlow
  3. STB is alive and well. Things are looking good so far this year. We just had camp in November and we are two weeks away from our December camp. We started learning our show. The horn line has worked their way through all of opener and started on the ballad. The drum line has started the opener. The guard has started learning work to the opener as well. With the prospect of several more members at the December camp we are almost to the 30 member mark, short by just a few. We are still looking for a guard and drum instructor who can teach at winter camps and tour in the summer. Anyone interested in a position please contact me directly at vibeplayer@hotmail.com Shara Barlow
  4. SteelTown Brass is in need of a few more instructors. We are looking to expand our current winter and touring staff. We are looking for anyone interested in teaching at winter camps and traveling in the summer in the areas of guard, drums and brass. *This year we will have a shorter season than most drum corps. We will only travel for 3 to 4 weeks and have several weekend trips as well. This is the perfect opportunity for those who want to teach but have other commitments in the summer such as a job or band camp. *We will march a competitive season if the goal of 30 or more members is reached. As of right now we are two-thirds of the way to thirty and have several big recruiting events coming up. If we do not reach the goal of 30 we will perform in standstills, parades, and concerts or perform a mini-corps show. *The positions are paid positions. Travel expenses are paid as well, on a case by case basis. Ask for more specifics. *We have a show written and ready to learn. In fact, music will be distributed at the November camp for the entire show for brass, drums, and front ensemble! *We even have plans in the works for new uniforms as well. * Please submit a resume or letter of interest to Shara Barlow via e mail. If you need to send information by snail mail please let me know. Anyone interested or if you are in need of more information please contact Shara Barlow at 262-903-1869 or e mail vibeplayer@hotmail.com.

Marie, Ont., will meet November 17, 18 and 19 at the high school in East Jordan, Michigan for our first camp.

Our camp fees are $35 in US or CDN which includes food, housing, equipment, and instruction. We offer one of the lowest overall dues and fees in the activity, with dues costing approximately $800 per year including camps and summer travel (exact amount not available until February).This year we will have a shorter season than most drum corps.

  6. We actually ended up not doing that parade.... they canceled us so, I took the corps to a well earned break at the Mall of America for the afternoon. Shara
  7. Hey All, SteelTown Brass is doing good. We had a 2 week tour that was very good. We did lots of parades and even learned one of the field show tunes. The corps did the hometown parade which I was not able to go to. Also, the corps is doing 2 more local parades. The members all had a great time and all but 1 or 2 say that they will be back next year. I believe that we will get the kids to march if the ones we have now help out in the recruiting process. We need more support from volunteers and parents. One cook and one bus driver is not enough... plus staff. If we can get the parent support everything will fall into place. We need people to do the fund raising as well as on the road stuff. Next year we will also need a percussion and guard instructor that can travel in the summer as well as do the winter camps. The web site is still there but is not updated. Our webmaster has not taken the time to do so. We are currently in search of someone to volunteer some time to update the site. The forums are still there and working... that is the best place to find info on us right now, or to talk with us. Thanks, Shara
  8. At one point I remember hearing about a small group of people getting older instruments together and selling them to groups that were just starting up. Does anyone know if that is still going on? If I remember right it was someone around the Chicago area or something like that. I want to start a drumming ensemble at the school I work at and I will be starting with no money (unless I get grants) and no instruments. I know that something will turn up but I thought that if I could find these guys it would help. Thanks for anyone that can give me info, Shara
  9. We are not looking to join either DCI or DCA at this point. We first need to get everything in order and get this summer underway before we make any decissions like that. We are just not restricting ourselves at this point to an age limit because we need as many people marching as possiable. Just as so many other groups need as many people marching as they can find. It is funny how there never seems to be enough members to march no matter where a corps is from. Have a great day, Shara
  10. We will be doing parades and standstill concerts this summer. The web site has been a slow work in progress because there are so many other aspects of the corps that need attention first, like cooks, drivers, and schedule, instructors and a million other small details. The new information is on the site if you look. The site will hopefully be changed within a week. We are Co-ed and we are accepting members ages 8 and up with no limit on age due to the fact that we put both of our groups together and we are not associated with DCI right now. We have 3 male members that are commited to marching we have two or three others who have been at rehersals and are still deciding. In total we have 23 members commited to marching the summer. Dispite the number of members the group is doing a wonderful job. We have had 2 camps and will have our first performance on Memorial Day Weekend. For only being together for 2 months it is amazing what they can do. Shara

  12. As soon as the board votes. The staff unanimously choose a name to submit. However, I can't tell you just yet. Ha... the anticipation.... Anyhow, we had wonderful camp this weekend. We added in 12 new kids. We have leads to a bunch more kids that are interested, about 9 more. We just have to keep at it and things will work out. Shara
  13. I know that you know why we are using that piece.... I was not sure if everyone else knew. But, I bet it was misleading a bunch of people. Shara
  14. Miranda, you are originally from the Soo area aren't you? Anyway, we are playing "Scotland the Brave" not because the corps is scottish. It is because of a dear friend to all of us that was involved wih the corps for most of her life. She died in an accident last spring at the age of 16. We have been playing her favorite corps piece as our parade tune since, for Ricki. This year we had it re-written to update the older version that we played last year. The rest of the music we are learning, which would have been our field show, has nothing to do with any theam or specific type of music. We are planning on getting a few chances to perform it this year. Shara
