  1. Most of you on this forum have never heard of Gerry Tremblay.

    Gerry was killed in a horrible car crash just outside of Hamilton, Ontario yesterday afternoon.

    Gerry was a LONG time member of Mighty St. Joe's Alumni Corps playing in the mellophone section. Prior to that he marched with the Hamilton Firefighters Drum Corps, Niagara Regionaires Sr. Drum Corps, many years with the Guelph Royalaires and as a kid with Preston Scout House in the early 1960's.

    Gerry wasn't the soloist, wasn't the famous arranger, wasn't the well-known corps director. Gerry was a quiet, kind, gentle guy who just marched in the line....and you could always count on him to be there. He loved drum corps more than anything. Every year at MSJ he would say "This is my last year" and he always turned up at the first rehearsal of the new year. He enjoyed his friends and the fellowship we all know in senior and alumni corps and those of us who knew him will miss him ever so much.

    There are no arrangements yet...

    RIP Gerry Tremblay.

    MY CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY,SORRY TO HEAR OF THIS TRAGEDY ,MAY GERRY REST IN PEACE.

  4. Hello all....

    As many of you may or may not know, I have many things going on in my life right now, and I need to focus on some personal issues I am having at home. A move to NJ is probable in the very near future.

    This being said, I have decided to resign completely from the West Sayville Golden Eagles. I am not sure who is taking over as Brass Caption Head, but I wish them and the entire Golden Eagles organization the best of luck in 2011 and beyond. For the most part, you have all been great to work with, perform with, and be friends with, and you will always hold a special place in my heart.

    FRANK,

    I KNOW EVERYONE IN THE DRUM CORPS COMMUNITY ON LONG ISLAND WILL MISS YOUR FRIENDSHIP AND SUPPORT .

    YOU HAVE TRYED TO HELP AT EVERY TURN EITHER BY TEACHING OR SITTING IN WITH NUMEROUS CORPS FOR MANY YEARS.. ..MANY THANK AND BEST WISHES TO YOU WHEREVER DECIDE TO GO REGARDS,

    CHACH

  8. It was a memorable day at Post 199 yesterday. Wall-to-wall people, good food, many old faces visiting (and some re-joining) many new faces and potential members, and ear-to-ear grins on both staff and members alike. Director Peter Bishop wondered aloud if we set some sort of record for the number of people in the room during the final ensemble. In fact, we almost didn't have one, because he wasn't sure there was room for the drum section with so many horns there! With a little squeezing and rearranging, we managed to get the drummers in there too to play the our new arrangement of 'Harmonica Man' and run through some of the current routine for the Plymouth show.

    Congratulations on a highly successful day and my personal thanks to chief organizers Bob Bonn, Pete Ciaccio and all the others who were involved in planning this special day. Several competing corps members visited and sat-in with the 'old Cabs' for the day, and they looked like they felt right at home. The final run-through of 'Cha-Cha Flamenco' was an incredible experience: looking around the room and seeing all that Caballero pride, history and tradition. Cabs young, old and in-between came together to get the 65th Anniversary year off to a great start.

    THANK YOU JOHN,

    IT WAS TRULY A GREAT DAY IN HAWTHORNE,SUN SHINING AS THE PARKING LOTS STARTED TO FILL UP TO CAPACITY.MY CELL KEPT RINGING JUST AS THE CLOCK STRUCK AT 12PM .

    I'M HERE; BE INSIDE IN A FEW MINUTES WAS WHAT THEY SAID.

    AS WE BEGAN THE DAY AND I LOOKED AROUND THE ROOM OVERFLOWING WITH HORN PLAYERS .THERE WAS LITTLE DOUBT THAT WE WOULD ROCK THE PLACE.

    THEN CAME OUR FIRST WARM UP CORDS .AFTER WE FINISHED PLAYING, I TURNED TO THE HORN PLAYER NEXT TO ME AND SAID (I THINK WE JUST WOKE EVERYONE UP IN HAWTHORNE ), LOL . I WAS EXTREMELY HAPPY TO SEE THE DRUM LINE WORK THERE WAY INTO THE CROWD AND MAKE THE DAY COMPLETE CABALLERO STYLE WITH A POWERFUL PERFORMANCE AT ENSEMBLE .

    IT WAS ABSOLUTELY WORTH ALL THE EFFORT TO HELP PUT TOGETHER THIS FANTASTIC CELEBRATION!

    LOOKING FORWARD TO OUR NEXT REHEARSAL ON SUNDAY OCTOBER 31 St ( HALLOWEEN )
