High Country Brass has recently purchased two sets of Plates, 16" and 18" Sabian's should be a fun add to the battery. Loud good!

I have to agree with Niki, Get out there and Play! We pick up more folks everytime we do a parade or standstill. Any exposure is good exposure in my opinion! Even when we go march block around a high school track we always attracted a small crowd and a lot of interest! Go Prarie Sound! Mike Ryan HCB b**bs

Yeah Praire Sound! Hope all goes well on the 22nd! We're still rolling along at a steady clip here in Denver Metro area. More folks join every week! Break a leg! as the saying goes! Mike

I think the music from Mel Brooks History of the World part I Inquisition would Kill!

Wow the possibilities are tremendous! I kinda like the sound of DCA Rocky Mountain Region but then we are the only ones in the Rocky Mountain Region and what fun is that? LOL! If you asked us a year ago where High Country Brass would be in 2008 you would have gotten a totally different answer than today. Actually considering traveling next season with a full field show. Just left a meeting where we are trying to figure out how many more unis and instruments we're going to need for next summer! Front ensemble or not. How many on the hornline etc. Pretty heady stuff for a guy like me who has been out of the marching sceen for over 25 years! Totally cool! Glad to see so many people as excited about All age, Senior or whatever you want to call it corps as we are in Colorado. 40 members and counting!

Hey Mike good to see you visit our thread! The Other Mike Ryan High Country Brass Contra line 2007 and equipment Manager.

Hey Mitch, It's CU not CSU open house. Get it right or pay the price.

I don't care how many times those charts have been played, Man they are fun to play! Maleguana, One More time! That's just plain in your face fun! Nice to see a whole bunch of new folks at rehearsal! 3 new battery, 4 guard and 2 newbys on the hornline. Way to go Mitch and company you recruiting animals! Later Mike

It's going to Be Hot Hot Hot! HLS, Mike

It's like playing "One More Time" the chart is kinda over played but we enjoy the heck out of ripping that one out too! Mike

Hey we should have a all Maleguana competiton! That way we can all scream. LOL /LMAO b**bs

Go Fusion! Finish Strong!

Looks like Jon Sanford too in the foreground.

Thanks, for the PM. Mike Ryan

Do you still have the horns for sale?

We are a fairly new senior Corps in the Denver area and are looking for arrangements of Bolero and Swingin Pete for our 2008 guard circuit show. We still play G horns and are currently around 30 horns. Send me an e mail if you are interested in talking further about these pieces. Thanks, Mike Ryan HCB

Hey Irene b**bs looking good! I really like the new guard unis in the 1st picture! Dave you look ma ba les too!

Any ideas? Bump

Wishful thinking. The narriation last night was the same as Denver DATR 2 weeks ago!

Hey there! High Country Brass is looking for an arrangement of Bolero written for G horns. Anyone have one that we could look at? If you do or know someone who does could you please let me know? Also looking for Swingin Pete. I heard that Madison did it back in the 90's sometime. Thanks for your help. b**bs Mike Ryan

I love the Jumbotron pics too! ( upper left corner of show pics) mike

thanks for putting the pic up Mitch!

b**bs Glad to see some scores for the western US! Who sneezed to drop the 1/4 point GCS? LOL Keep up the great work down in Texas. We're looking forward to seeing you guys soon! Mike Ryan High Country Brass Northglen, CO

Look in the market place there were 2 valve G's up for $400.00 each last week. 2 valves are kinda fun! Makes you work those chops a bit!

Glad to see that so many folks in the Colorado area are interested in Life after Juniors! Hope to see many more of you soon. Mike
