BrassMember

Thanks for the review Brent . We are truly working very hard this year and cant wait for the season to start!

there seems to be a pattern between 1-2,3-4,5-6,7-8 in how close/far apart they are (for the most part)...interesting

MBI trumpet spot is filled...FULL CORPS!

ah true...i did forget them, but dont they count for like 10 each? and I heard tonight the guard holes have been filled so all in all... 1 trumpet hole

58 horns (one trumpet hole ) 32 guard (last i heard there were 2 holes ) 23 battery ?? Frontline 2 DMs

MBI is doing great with "Nocturne: Songs for the Night" We have learned the first half of the drill and have put it together with music (who knew you had to do both ) This coming weekend we will complete the rest of the drill and have a full show up and running! Numbers: Hornline: 58 Color Guard: 32 Battery: 23 Frontline: Not sure on this (10-15ish) DM: 2 Can't wait to perform!!!

We are also playing Stan Kenton's "Aspect" and "Commencement" which if not mistaken Renegades played commencement in 2006?

:blink: I second that!!!

The Expo was a SUCCESS!!! The gym was packed and all groups did absolutely wonderful! A GREAT close to winter and a GREAT opening to summer!

ahh, you beat me to it!

ONE WEEK LEFT UNTIL EXPO!!! Be there or be square! better address... 1015 S. Snelling Avenue St. Paul, MN 55116

Come to Highland Park Senior High School (1015 S. Snelling Avenue) on Wednesday, April 15th at 8:00 P.M. and catch a sneak peek at what Minnesota Brass, Inc. has been up to this spring. * See the thirty member strong NSC Champion Winter Guard in their final performance of "Wonder Wall" * Just back from their 2009 Winter Tour - Minne Brass * A farewell and break-a-leg send off to Minnesota Brass Indoor drum line as they take their 2009 production, "Synchronicity," to WGI championships in Dayton, Ohio * And the moment you've all been waiting for - the preview of "Nocturne - Songs of the Night" by the full MBI horn and drum lines This is your only opportunity to see all of these Minnesota Brass performance groups in one place, so mark your calendar now and make sure you attend the 2009 Spring Expo! so if you on the east/west coast fly on out

Realistically... It would go to myself and my family for various things because $1 million isnt all that much especially after taxes . BUT if that didnt matter so much i would donate to MBI (duh, which i probably would in my first scenario) and would help all DCA corps make it to finals that couldnt otherwise do so and we would all have a grand old time! :devil:

umm...no comment

I could see them wearing a fedora, or something similar to that style. Yet I dont see why anyone would want to go from not wearing to wearing one. The one time last year we didnt wear our shakos (for a parade on a hot day) it sure was nice.

That truly was a class act of ES to shake all of our hands, thank you. See ya in NY.

Correction, the cartoon music is for Minne Brass not for the full corps. Though the music is still going to ROCK! "Nocturne - Songs for the Night" Selections- Harlem Nocturne, Commencement, My Immortal, Aspect, A Night in Tunisia.

wait what is summer? i thought the only seasons in Minnesota are winter and road construction.

2009 is going to be killer! cant wait!!!

We did take a knee to let the perc. have the attention, but we changed that on sundays practice before the show, we have added full body ripples, all horn members get shakers, and we get to "enjoy the perc" so to say. once that is cleaned it will be very cool and will add a little to the visual score.

This is true, as a member of brass and along with other members, we felt that saturday night was much better than sunday, our staff on the otherhand thought sunday was better, along with the judges.
