BrassCats

Talk about community. We have been flooded with offers and have several things in the works now. Thanks to everyone. Bill

If the You Tube videos of the Ghost Riders are some of his arrangements I am impressed! Bill

Donny, We have G bugles. Still moving people around on horns but a good mix for mini corps (I think you know of a pretty awesome mini corps!). Email me at rocketeersdbc@earthlink.net with your information. Bill

We are looking to borrow or purchase several arrangements good for mini corps. We have a few charts now but would like to get a few more to have a variety to practice while we find our groove and make selections for competition. If you have any charts you are willing to share please let me know. Would like to find a nice arrangement of Land of Make Believe and possibly theme from "The Rocketeer" as well.

The Rocketeers Drum and Bugle Corps – Huntsville, AL. DCA finals here we come! The Rocketeers held their inaugural rehearsal today. We are still trying to secure a rehearsal location but we felt it was important to go ahead and have a rehearsal. I sent an email to the local people I knew who were ready to get started and invited them to my home. Since it was short notice I was only expecting 4 horns and possibly 1 percussionist however to my surprise we officially kicked things off with six horns. We had a neat mix of horns on hand. In fact no two of them were the same. There were a Kanstul 3V, Dynasty 3V and an Ultratone V/R soprano - Kanstul 3V mellophone - King Powerbore 2V, Kanstul 3V, Dynasty 3V & Ultratone V/R baritone - and a Dynasty 2V contra. The crew consisted of: Jeff Stewart – Soprano Joseph Banks – Soprano Connor Johnson – Mellophone / Baritone Willard Johnson – Baritone Bill Gullatt –Baritone Doug Childs – Contra These pics were taken by my nine year old but it is better than nothing. Bill, Willard, Connor, Doug, Jeff & Joseph Playing a little Chatting afterward Bill & Willard Connor, Joseph & Jeff Doug and his big honkin horn! Until we find a permanent rehearsal spot we will meet one or two Sunday afternoons a month. Will post a schedule and location on the Website & Facebook . This should allow those who are out of town to join us. I have about 20 on my email list at this point but if you are interested and have not contacted us please feel free to email at rocketeersdbc@gmail.com
