[Drum Corps Japan Championships]

Recap: http://www.dcjpn.org/cgi-bin/dlcnt/dlcnt.c...=f_champion2006

But yeah,The Yokohama Scouts were 9th at All-Japan with Inspires and Tokyo Phoenix in 3rd and 4th.

Inspires had a great brass book by the way :)

Thanks for the link. GE was the caption for sure. I'm sure ohigashi is already thinking about how to make it better. I'm super excited about the ideas being looked at for this year.

It's been a great 2 years so far with Inspires. It doesn't hurt that those kids can play absolutely anything you give them. The mellophones were downright freaks.

I am actually already starting on the new book. Should have a rough draft in the next few weeks.

woo hoo!

It was a great show.

hmmm... would LOVE to see a recap. Have they been posted yet?

Congrats to all over there, but especially to my Inspires friends.

Weren't scouts pretty far back at All-Japan? I can't remember. I guess I could not be so lazy and check the archives hee hee hee

Anyway. Always super proud to be associated with Inspires - just an amazing and talented group of people and performers.

Can't wait for Gold week in May!! Tokyo, here I come!!!!! :)

More coolness in store for 2006-7 season.
