  1. 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

    what is the instrumentation? I have some time.

  2. 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.

  5. 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.

    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

  6. I have 4 Ultratone V/R horns available for sale. They are all in very good to excellent condition.

    2 Sops

    1 Mello

    1 Bari(this one is excellent and was my personal horn)

    We have been switching to three valve horns and need to move these.

    Will post some pictures this weekend.
