Marched parades with a serious case of the Hangover and Heat Rash

I guess I would have to add all the bribes to my wife for being away every weekend in the summer... ( Sure you can buy that...by the way, I am out of town this weekend ) also someone to do all the yard work I did not have time to do. Since that never happened sure makes for buisy weekends after Labour Day. All this for an Alumni Corps...can't imagine a field corps.

Yes it's a G Bari

I have on too and was told to keep it out...I have tape on it to keep it that way when playing. Now I am confused, thought it was more in tune with it out.

I know the feeling...It was the Toronto Optimists first time ( also the Les Diplomates ) at the Alumni Spectacular and only heard from people I know. Not a general feeling from the people that paid to see the show. It would be nice to hear what the paying people thought with an honest opinion. Terry Sologuk, Toronto Optimist Alumni

I do not have any brothers or parents that new or wanted anything to do with Drum Corps. But I met my wife in Drum Corps..marched together for a few years in junior. Was teaching my son and daughter for about 4 years in juniors also. My son and I both march with the Toronto Optimists Alumni now....and the newest thing is that my wife, daughter , son and I will now started playing for a small alumni corps at home so we can all be on the hornline together. That is the ultimate for me...except bringing a contra, barritone and 2 mellophones everywere we go.

Did you see the 2 new corps at the Alumni show and what did you think...should they come back next year?

Sorry...Alumni Show....did not check spelling

Don't be late for the Alumi show....you can not miss the Opti's return to the field....they are on first

Yes...Sat. evening

I play in an Alumni Corps just for the enjoyment of entertaining people. Got to travel 12 Hrs to play in Glen's Falls for Saturday night. This will be an memorable night for the Toronto Optimists, Have not done a field show since 1975 in the US. ( I live 4 Hrs north of Toronto so thats why the 12 Hrs ) If anyone is going hope you enjoy our show.

The Toronto Optimists Alumni Corps is using all 3 Valve G bugles, Kanstul. Except a few 2 valve DEG contras and 2 valve Kings.

I THOUGHT MOUTHPIECE , NOT MUSIC....WRONG ANSWER

Try a Rosolino by Warberton

I still have a p/r contra and concert french horn both Imperials and a p/r mellophone (olds). They all work fine and are easy to keep care of. Take out the rotor and put oil in the tube, work it in. Should last for ever. You can not kill a p/r horn, they are were built to last

I just started on a Rosolino by Warburton. Deep cup, large bore, great for range and volume.

I have a 2 valve deg/dynasty sop...P/R Olds Mellophone...2 valve American Heritage Bari ( I use that one with the Toronto Optimists Alumni now)... P/R concert french horn Imperial and a P/R Contra Imperial. They come in handy at home Wife plays mello, daughter playes mello/sop, son playes contra and I play Bari.

My first was a piston slide sop. Imperial...Marched my first show with it, then they sent it away to get converted to a piston, rotor..wow. 1973

I just tried a new mouthpiece from Warburton...Baritone, called a ROSOLINO...WOW I sold on this one. Warburton will custom make any mouthpiece for you or look at stock pieces. Terry plays with the Toronto Optimists Alumni. I just started on Lead Bari. Check out Terry's site www.warburton-usa
