  4. First Bay Area Showing- A Benefit for the Amador Valley High School Marching Band and Color Guard February 12th, 2015 7:30pm Dublin Regal Hacienda Crossings Cinema- This is where DCI shows all their movies. 5000 Dublin Blvd, Dublin CA 94566 Tickets are $14 http://www.youtube....h?v=xeGTShRbpg0 http://www.youtube....h?v=TQeQDbRbRt0 Please buy your tickets in advance, they will not be sold at the door or at the theatre. They are only sold through Gathr Films at http://gathr.us/screening/9931. The screening doesn't happen unless all 73 tickets are sold by a certain date. Your credit card will not charged until the Tipping point is hit, so please don't wait till the end, do it today. Mac and Tom have taken the Movie to multiple Film festivals and have won best Documentary. TJ has perfected the quality of the sound in 5.1 surround sound. It makes you feel like you are part of the corp. . My goal is to get more than the 73 people needed to make this screening happen. The more tickets sold the more we can help Amador Valley HS Marching Band. Last year they marched 330 kids and placed in 3rd in the state in WBA.
  5. As a parent that has been involved in both travel hockey for 10 years, HS band for 9yrs, and Drum Corp for 7 yrs. We know the cost of doing business in each one. Hockey in California is not cheap, since there is limited Ice time and at the time it was $325.00 an hr, and they practiced at least 2 or 3 day a week. Just traveling from rink to rink wasn't cheap, since the rinks are at least 1hr apart, some are 21/2 hrs and all for just 1 game. HS Marching Band we have been involved in the band for 9 yrs with both of kids(daughter did HS color guard as an 8th grader)and it used to be about $800 and it was required. These past years Fair Share Contribution was asking for $1100. The band can not require you to pay thanks to the ACLU. Expenses are buses, hotels, uniforms, instruments, staff(non district)trucks to haul, music rights, food, and I probably forgot something. Plain and simple it costs to play! We have been involved in Drum Corp for 7 yrs, My son started in BDB 2yrs, aged out from Madison 5 yrs, my daughter did 3yrs BDC, 1 yr BDB and is going back this year. Having my son in BD was nice all we had to pay was $1500 and gas money to get back and fourth. Then he made Scouts and the tryouts and camp in Indy. Plane tickets during the 5 yrs ranged from $300 to $500 each month + fees of around $1500. The costs are a little different in drum corp. They still have the buses, but no hotels, they get gym floors, and food trucks instead of catering and staff is probably a little more expensive also. This year it will be nice following just BDB and paying for gas to get there, my son was hired on by the Blue Knights as Visual Staff, so we will root for them also. We will always be rooting for Madison and the Brotherhood.
  6. Scouts Honor is coming to the SF Bay Area. February 12th, 2015. 7:30 pm Regal Hacienda Crossings 5000 Dublin Blvd, Dublin CA 94568 Get your Tickets at Gathr Films. NO TICKETS WILL BE SOLD AT THE THEATRE! This is a Benefit for The Amador Valley High School Marching Band and Color Guard. We need to sell 71 tickets last I checked. I was able to go to the screening, hosted by Mac and JT. It is a powerful movie and very emotional, I have been a Drum Corp dad for 7 years so far and have loved every minute of it. The 5.1 sound makes you feel that you are there, right in the middle of it all the action. Please help us make this award winning film happen in Dublin, spread the word through social media or just by word of mouth. It is a great movie and a great cause. My son did BDB for 2 years and then went to Madison for 5 years and aged out last year. I will miss him performing, but his sister is in BDB, and they always have an entertaining show.
