The first one is a Ludwig actually and the second is a Getzen.

How much are you asking for the 4 baritones? On another note, the link sent my Antivirus off big time so I had to disable it to get to the page.

I think I am going to have to just sit down with a tuner and write out a fingering chart.

They are 99% Getzen and a couple Slingerlands

So if I'm reading this right, the rotor is basically 2nd valve meaning (in treble) first space f would be just piston, g would be open and second space a would be piston and rotor engaged?

I am in a position to acquire a bunch of valve rotor baritones for my mini corps project but the issue is, I have never played a piston rotor horn and do not know what notes they are capable of (or not rather) and how to get the pitches. If anyone is fluent with this type of instrument and can give me a basic walkthrough so I can see if I can write horn charts around the missing notes, I would appreciate it.

With the NY Skyliners we used to go to Giants Stadium on Friday nights and use one of the lots. Several times the Raiders (DCI) were in an adjoining lot. We also did a round in Mount Pocono and used the high school band lot.

I always liked our little mini tour for 4th of July weekend. We would have to do a parade in uniform and the next without jackets so the sweat could evaporate a little though. The only bad memory I have from the Maryland tour is trying (unsuccessfully) to convince the bus driver that the bay door wasn't latched on the trip home one year. (2004 I think.) He figured it out when the door flew open on the highway and 2 snares met their maker in front of a truck...Twisted Metal

I thought those rights were intended for recording purposes at mini corps. That was the impression I was under when I was in charge of getting them for Sky in '07. The way I always understood the laws is that you have to have the rights to perform the song for a paid performance (I.e. admission charged to the event) or if it is going to be recorded and sold. We were able to use the Sky Signature in 2005 for on field warmup without getting rights to it because it was not part of the performance that the fans paid for. Technicality I know. Since I and E is free to attend and there will be no recording, why would it be necessary? (Based on what I thought the laws were or what they actually were 7 years ago anyway.) A small side note: If you play a solo, duet. whatever and are using stock sheet music like out of a Hal Leonard book, that is their publication and it is perfectly fine to perform without additional rights. That's what all of that copyright stuff is for at the bottom of the page.

This sounds oddly familiar to the stories about Jim Laab's Music in Wisconsin. Except their cheap trash drums with Trixon stickers are no better than their service skills.

I wanted to post and get some ideas for a piece to play for mellophone for DCA I&E this year. I was originally going to do Don Ellis' Loss on soprano but I couldn't get it to sound right unless it was on my trumpet which I don't want to take. So I have a 2 valve G mello and I want to do some sort of ballad type number. I don't care about how technical it is since I have no shot of winning, I just want to play. Any ideas?

Yay, it only took 21 seasons to make finals!

Tomorrow is the open house. The staff is really excited to begin working with the battery and we are looking forward to a great turnout!

Can anyone point me to where I can get an entire brick of snare sticks? We are looking to get wood tip Hardimons but can only find them in single pairs at all the regular places.

Some major rewrites to the music last night dropped us a bit but I think the changes will be better in the long run.

I can't go past 145 points. I just tried.

This may be a stupid question for some but I haven't been around in quite a few seasons. Was there a point increase? And if so, do I not get one as penalty for starting late? I don't know if there are even late start penalties anymore...

Finally the question is answered. The name of the tune is Remembrance by Paul Hart. It was played by Madison in 1990 and 1998 and by their alumni in 2006. That pretty much confirmed my suspicion that it wasn't Syracuse in the recording. We can close this topic now.

Definitely not Channel One Suite. I looked at the Madison video and it just doesn't sound right...Maybe just totally different arrangements but Corpsreps lists them as the only one ever playing that.

A number of years ago I tried to ask but caught hell because of the YouTube policy. That has since changed so I thought I would try again. In this video, can someone tell me the song and year of the piece playing around the 3:45 mark? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJMuL-3o1dQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player

If you listen to some old recordings from the 60's and 70's you will hear the announcers say it with the 'y' sound sometimes. In Spanish "LL" is an actual letter of the alphabet (and so is "ch" pronounced chey.) Any word with a double L is pronounced with the y sound i.e. tortilla (tortiya), ella (eya) and of course caballero (cabayero - meaning gentleman.) I would imagine that since you would have to be speaking spanish for it to count, it is perfectly acceptable to pronounce the L's in English.

I got an email from DCA regarding the DVDs not too long ago and it explained exactly what was going on and when they were going to ship. I don't know where the heck it went. I spent a good 15 minutes using the search features in Gmail to recover it when I saw this post so I could copy it in. Nevermind. I could not find it because it wasn't an email. It was on the DCA Facebook page. Here is the post: "WHERE'S MY DVD??! We get lots of emails from fans who've placed orders for DVDs of the 2013 championship events, wondering why they haven't received them yet! Our 2013 products will begin shipping on December 1. It does say that when you order a disc online, but we guess many people miss that. So, fear not, your orders aren't lost or delayed - shipping starts December 1; we're in final post-production now!"

The color guard meeting has been moved up to 5:00 to accommodate an event at the high school later I'm the evening.
