LOL!!!
I hear the fishing is good there too.
100 brass would be a bit much so I would settle for 36 to 40.
yea 40 is enough to peel some paint !! -
Just a few more, we don't want to be to big ya know! LOL
We could use some more brass players and pit members and a multi tom player.
A FEW more ?!! No such thing as too much brass.
-
We only had the percussion music a week and these guys just blasted right through it. I would be honored to play with this percussion section come Rochester, even if I just play a tamborine. ( I play a pretty mean tamborine...)
I'm sure the other sections will grow as well. We will be all around the state at different rehearsal sites like gypsy's. We may be coming to a town near you.....
I got a call from a long time drummer who stopped by the camp. He was out of his mind with the Sun Devils drum line. Nice job guys and gals.
-
A whole weekend camp! Can't wait to get started and then listen to it all on Sunday to see how wonderful the horn line is....drum line too.
See you in 2 days!
Good Job all !! Have a great 1st camp !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Yes Pokey you heard correct! The rehearsal schedule through April is up on the website calendar. The staff section is updated as well.
GO SUN DEVILS!
HEY ALL YOU FOLKS IN THE SARASOTA AREA KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR TV. THE SUN DEVILS AD WILL BE SHOWING SOON !!!

It's good to have Mickey in the line! Hopefully we'll see you down here for a visit. The band is better than ever btw.
MICKEY HAS CHOPS !! Me? not so much
-
Lol! With the talent in this year's contra line, it could be any member of the section. (And it's only January. )
that's our little MAKO boy.
-
Don't worry, the cameras were snapping left and right. It's just a matter of collecting them all and getting them up on the website.
WE WANT PICS...WE WANT PICS...WE WANT PICS...WE WANT PICS....
(be sure to help me out with a little photo shop action. You know lose 10lbs, cover the balding areas...)

I drove the truck today.... yeah!!!
That would explain why the truck was ticketed for parking in front of a fire hydrant.

Does Charlie get a contra solo?
-
Oh sure you all do breathing... but this is the kind of intensity you get when your brass staff are marines!
Come out and join Shenandoah Sound on January 26th and release some of your pent up tension!
OOOW, this one had CHAD written all over it.
-
The horns are clean and set up along with the drums/percussion. I will open the gates around noon and 1pm will begin the 1st season for The Sun Devils!
If you live in Florida, want to compete in DCA this summer then come on down and be ready to rehearse the music from The Last Samurai.
You won't be disappointed.
AND THERE WAS MUCH REJOICING!! yeaaaa.
-
I cant wait til Sunday! I'm really looking forward to getting to play with a drum corps again, even though only 5 months ago I was on tour with Teal Sound. I believe this will be a diffrent kind of experiance to me, and I'm looking forward to meeting all you new people and getting to play some killer music.
GO SUN DEVILS!!
Good to you on board !!
-
The fourth Friday of the month is Jazz Night at St. Armand's Circle...free concert with national acts.
Drum circle at Siesta Key Beach on Sunday evenings...imagine the drum line walking in with drums on and blowing everyone away at the beach while the sun sets!
Wing House in Bradenton or Hooters in Bradenton or Sarasota.
Great eating establishments like RJ Gators and many, many more!
Maybe a get together at my house...after we get some construction things done in the kitchen and garage...any builders out there?
See yall SUNDAY. Got a call from a couple more contra dudes today !!
-

I don't dance anymore! I can say I don't dance like "Elaine" on Seinfeld and if you saw me dancing...why were you looking in my bedroom? Ever see Doug Heffernan on King of Queens do the pole dance for Carrie? Hehehehehe

Things are cooking in Sarasota. This week will be busy and the team will be in on Saturday to get ready for the first rehearsal. If you are coming out...bring your mouthpiece, sticks, banner and be ready to learn the entire book.
See you in one week!!!
The drums, horns equipment truck etc. were delivered to Saraota today. I'll bet it felt like Christmas.
-
well being from the deep south if they want to compete in dca they will need a lot of bucks...........and right away.
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT !! PLUS FUND RAISERS LIKE THAT MAKES IT AFFORDABLE TO ALL.
-
I think Bill is in Brevard County and he makes the drive. We'd love to have you be a part of the corps.
PSSST Hey kieth...... LOOK AT A MAP !!!

-
I looked at the website and noticed that the Board of Directors is also the staff. I also think that I've seen the name of their Corps Director some where....a little help here...anyone?
This never got off the ground. It was a concept with no equipment, money etc. A couple of enthusiastic but VERY young folks. No camp etc ever took place.
-
arent you guys the same ones that ran Heatwave the last couple years?
why change your name
Nope. I am on the Heat Wave BOD. We have only agreed to assist with equipment, initial administration etc. Heat Wave currently exists to assist the marching music arts in Florida. We have assisted 2 Orlando area high school bands with $ and/or equipment. We have also worked with an east coast color guard with fund raising this year.
The offer to assist the marching music activity in Florida was posted on our web site several months ago. We can always use more volunteers.
OH yea I hope to get my chops in shape to march with Sun Devils. (anybody want to car pool from the Brevard area?)
-
My reaction, nearly verbatim.
Well on the plus side there seems to be an abundance of enthusiasm for a DCA Florida Corps. Now if we can ALL (me too) have a fine meal of CROW, followed smoking a peace pipe there may be a great opportunity. Somebody wanna call a meeting?
-
Well, so much for that.
SOOOO after much hype turns out Gasparilla is NOT fielding a DCA corps. I may have whiplash!!!
Great Brass Camp Sun Devils

We used the Rudy Mucks filled with solder back in the day to keep the "plugs" from accidentally making a sound.
