The Rocketeers will be moving back to Ensemble for this year. Our problem is finding percussionist. Who would have ever thunk it.

This horn is still available.

Others?

The Rocketeers are a mini corps in Huntsville. We have room for a couple of percussionists. Feel free to call me Bill 256.694.8813

SOLD.

Sale Pending!

I have an almost new Dynasty M354 Soprano. No dents, dings, bends, scratches or wear. The horn was used a single season of Mini Corps with The Rocketeers. That equates to approximately 15 rehearsals and 4 performances plus some practice time. This horn has never been marched with or loaded in a pile of horns on a bus or tour truck! It has the double case and a mouthpiece as shipped from Dynasty. All of our sops are now on Kanstul horns. I have a few pics from my cell phone but it hasn't even been cleaned up and looks awesome. Dynasty retails these around $1350. I have seen some dealers in the $900 range new. Asking $750 + shipping. Bill Gullatt The Rocketeers rocketeersdbc@earthlink.net c 256.694.8813

All Ultratones have been sold.

Way to go Ron. I am sure you will get some takers.

This just proves DCA is alive and well in the South. Good luck this year and thanks to all the MCL folks that helped kickstart The Rocketeers last year. Bill Gullatt

Bari still available. Email for pictures. rocketeersdbc@earthlink.net

Vic Kulinski sent me the date and asked if we were interested. I think Glory is hosting the show. Bill

While it may not have the name "Division" that is probably what it needs. If there is enough interest it would be great to be able to break it into two divisions. Rookies and Legends! While we are only in our second year, this will be our first year in mini corps. Just the honor to be in the same competition as Star United, Minni Brass, Ghost Riders and all of those who have made it what it is will make it worth the hard work and effort!

***** UPDATES ****** First rehearsal next Sunday 2/12/12 at Grace Presbyterian Church - Madison, AL Tentative Schedule (All dates rehearsals unless otherwise noted): Feb 12 - Kickoff and reading session Feb 26 Mar 18 April 15 May 6 May 27 Jun 10 Jun 24 Jun 30 - Bardstown, KY - DCA South July 8 July 22 Aug 4 - * Atlanta, GA - DCA South Aug 5 Aug 12 Aug 18 - Douglasville, Ga - DCA South Aug 19 Aug 26 Aug 30-Sep 2 - Annapolis, MD - DCA Finals

Can someone post the historical mini-corps standings for every year since the beginning? All I can find on the DCA website is the last two years. Thanks Bill

Price reduction on the Bari $100 + shipping. Need it gone as I have bought two more Kanstuls from Carolina Gold.

If it works out we will. It was neat having our first ever performance at the CV show last year. Let us know when your show is and we will see what we can do.
