WHY electronics?!?? There are still so many things brass hasn't even done yet.

Jeeze man, take it easy. He just wanted to start a fun thread, no need to get worked up over anything.

Will do, thanks. Hope the weather holds out

Good call. I have a feeling it wont be called off, weather channel is showing less than an inch of snow for you guys.

What about those that have to travel a long way, will he cancel in advance?

WHOA. SO the alumni corps is going to be using at least 19 of those drums?? thats going to be an amazing thing to see

YOWZA!

Right on, thanks man

That is the FIRST thing I thought of when I saw that proposal

Hope that passes big time!

amplification of brass....you've GOT to be kidding me Hopkins...

Quick question. Is signing the Membership info form the same as signing up for camp?If not, how are we to go about signing up for camp? Thanks!

My thoughts exactly, but oh well. I really DO NOT want any more electronics to pass.

A little off topic but, speaking of things that are "coming in 2007/08" what ever happened to the new Jupiter marching brass/perc.

Jeeze, didn't realize how many open class corps were fielding this year.

BUMP Don't you love how the threads with real meaning get pushed to the bottom

Just finished reading. I think I'm gonna go thank my parents for letting me choose band over soccer in 6th grade. Thanks boo!

Thanks Man. I could use all the luck I can get my hands on

I'm really opposed to WW for one reason. There is still WAY too much that hasn't been done in an all brass ensemble.

Just thought I'd ask everyone here, Who's all going to this camp and what instrument are you hoing out for. Eric Lewis Snare

I'm gonna try to stay with some one IF I make it that is. To be completely honest the 70 page percussion packet has me a tad nervous I Just want to march

I'm from ohio and i'm trying out, thats....kind of far :D

250! WOW that is gonna be a fun weekend
