I only speak for the Blue Stars, but Nick was a professional and a joy to have involved with the corps' percussion program. We wish him nothing but success in his new position with the Scouts. Brad

Hi HardCorp, You seem to be very concerned about Howard's status with the Blue Stars, so I thought I would post to put your mind at ease. Yes, Howard is the corps director. He's doing a fabulous job. I represented the Blue Stars at the DCI meeting last weekend. The same as every DCI meeting for the past three years. Thanks, Brad Also, we're looking for a tenor.

The Blue Stars has updated its equipment for sale page. Some new discounts on items that have been hanging around the warehouse, including our last 2-valve bugle. Also, lots of bike props and parts. Perfect for a show about a bike race. http://www.bluestars.org/equip/index.php

Just stumbled upon this thread now. The silver Ludwigs were sold a few weeks ago, so no longer available. I do have a different battery set for sale, if anyone's interested. Send me a pm if you would like details. Thanks, Brad

Sorry, folks. A little miscommunication with the Tribune. The video won't be reposted. If you were able to watch, I hope you liked what you saw. If you missed it, please check us out at a show this summer or subscribe to the Blue Stars Fan Network: http://www.bluestars.org/fannetwork/ Thanks, Brad

Yes, Frank Sullivan is the composer/arranger for the Blue Stars' 2006, 2007 and 2008 shows.

Website has been updated to reflect what has been sold. Still available are some fine middle voice horns. One of the advantages of corps not regularly having flugel and alto horns in the line (at least when I marched) is that these horns are in near perfect condition. Still have 4 fine DEG 3-valve G mellos as well. Marimba is on reserve Brad

Sales Update: The following items have been sold or reserved: All 3v Contras 3v Conversion Contra 2v Euphonium All Dynasty Baritones 1 Kanstul 3v Baritone (2 still available!) All Kanstul French Horns All Dynasty Mellophones All Dynasty Trumpets Yamaha Marimba

Sales update: Sold: 2v Euph Reserved: Both 3v contras All Dynasty baris 1 Kanstul bari Olds contra w/3v conversion

2-valve Euph is gone On reserve: 1 of the 3-valve contras All the dynasty baritones

We aim to please! Point of clarification that we'll get updated on the site. All horns are G except the two trumpets. Brad

Aaron posted in the Blue Stars forum. After he posted the links here, the traffic crashed his server or something. He's working on the fix.

Division II/III is 8.5 - 11.5

I'm kind of the middle man on this offering. Please send a note to director@bluestars.org to find out what is still available. I know there has been a lot of interest in the last week. Thanks, Brad

They have sold a few, but still have a bunch left. The link in my first post will take you to the list. Brad

As all good non-profits write on their materials. Consult your tax advisor. ;) Edit: Guess I was right after all.
