  1. Windsor Regiment 2013 Show Announcement West Windsor, NJ - December 30, 2012 As we enter our third year of field competition Windsor Regiment is pleased to present: We open the show with the serene “Flower Duet,” by Delibes', as we sow the seeds of our burgeoning garden. The celebration begins with the joy of daisies and a rousing and playful interpretation of “The Candide Overture,” by Leonard Bernstein. As we journey deeper in to our garden we capture the beauty and passion of the timeless classic, “The Rose,” by Amanda McBroom; made famous by Bette Midler. The majesty and harmony of pastoral lilies take over as we enter the closing number of our show with the “Appalachian Spring Suite,” by Aaron Copland before experiencing our garden in full bloom with a rousing and crowd-pleasing medley ending. Windsor Regiment still has membership openings in all sections of the corps, however they are filling up fast. If you are interested in being a part of the 2013 Windsor Regiment, please fill out our membership form. Our next rehearsal for Brass and Percussion will be held on Sunday, January 20th at Robbinsville High School. All are invited to attend!
  2. The Windsor Regiment is excited to announce that their full design team will be returning for the 2013 season with some exciting new faces that are going to continue to add to the Windsor tradition! Chris Kilian will be returning to bring his powerful and exciting brass arrangements to the Windsor Regiment. Partnered with the lyrical percussion design of JR Bechtel, the team will continue to hone the unique Windsor style. Rob Pacitti will be returning for his second season with the corps as drill designer and chief colorguard designer. In addition, the Windsor Regiment is very excited to bring the talented Jude Boughton of the Spirit of Atlanta Drum and Bugle Corps, the Blackwatch Independent World Guard, and the Round Rock High School Dragon Band in to the mix as a consultant and program designer. Joseph Heininger and A Wish Come True will again be designing the dresses for the lovely ladies of the Windsor Regiment Colorguard. We are pleased to announce the promotion of Tyler Wiesnusz to Brass Caption Head. Assisting Tyler on the brass support staff are Lauren Bond, Zach Tempone, Joelle Varner, and Ernesto Lara. We are also pleased to announce the promotion of Aaron Christopher to Percussion caption head. Assisting Aaron will be Rocco Richardson, Nick Buddock, and Trish Witt who will be heading the Pit Ensemble. Jaclyn Rae Dolan and Hannah Kinsey will be returning to our colorguard team as co-designers and technicians. The corps is currently accepting members in all sections: brass, color guard, and percussion. If you are interested in more information fill out our contact form. For directions click here. Our next rehearsal is Sunday, January 20th for Brass and Percussion. Come on out!
  3. That mission was accomplished, absolutely. Now that we've put down some roots it's time to grow.
  4. Thanks for the thoughts. Glad you enjoyed the show.
  5. Thanks, Jeff, for the honest review. It was a high risk, high reward show, and it's always difficult for MOST corps to anticipate what their numbers are going to be....especially for a 2nd year drum corps! The risk/reward thing worked to our benefit in the shows after Wildwood to be sure. I think you'll really dig what we come out with in 2013. I know I'm always learning and so is the rest of the team...and we'll never be afraid go go out on a limb when it's appropriate. :) Again, thanks for the thoughts. I look forward to reading your reviews next summer.
  6. Thank you! I hope you're able to see us again in 2013!
  7. Hey, drum corps folks and fans. I work with the Windsor Regiment, a DCA corps in New Jersey. We have a trumpet and a mellophone spot available and are looking for 2 people with experience to jump in there and make a difference. I know every year lots of people think about marching and don’t for many reasons. Here’s an opportunity to jump in to a good corps with great members and an awesome show from now until Labor Day (minus the first weekend in August…we’re off). Think about it and let me know. I’m the brass caption head and arranger and will be happy to answer any questions you might have. Just email me at kilian.chris@gmail.com, PM me here, or fill out the form at www.windsor-regiment.org for info.
  8. Another successful Memorial Day weekend for Windsor Regiment is in the books. WR was seen at parades in Marcus Hook, PA and Freehold, NJ this weekend. In between, we dodged rain drops as we tore into the drill for our 2012 closer, "Angels in the Architecture." We also welcomed new members in several sections. The corps still has a few spots, and we're looking for experienced (band or drum corps) musicians or dancers/spinners who are looking for an intense and intensely rewarding drum corps experience. You won't find a more dedicated crew (members, staff, and administration) around, so come on out and be a part of something that is going to be very special in 2012. www.windsor-regiment.org
  9. Windsor Regiment is pleased to announce that we will be participating in the Holyoke, MA St. Patrick's Day Parade on Sunday, March 18th. This is always a great spring "kick off" event for quite a few corps here in the Northeast, and we are excited to march in the oldest St. Patty's Day parade in the United States. If you're up there, come check us out at our first public performance of 2012!
  10. Windsor Regiment just completed our first March rehearsal. The corps' rehearsal facility has a wonderful astro-turf stadium, and the corps made good use of it on Saturday by learning around 1:30 of the drill for our opening production of "Stained Glass." This impressive production, entitled "Angels in the Architecture," is really starting to come to life, and all were excited to get to work on the visual portion of the show. The brass and percussion focused on the first half of our closer, "Angels in the Architecture," in ensemble rehearsal and great strides were made in all aspects of the musical production. The creative team is hard at work connecting the program together, and work continues on polishing the total production from a creative standpoint. There's so much going on behind the scenes and at rehearsals, that excitement and morale is high as we begin to wind down our winter season. The brass line will continue work on Saturday, 3/17 in Robbinsville, NJ. The following day, 3/18, the entire corps will make our first public appearance of the year in a St. Patrick's Day parade! The brass will report from 10am-6pm on Saturday, and the entire corps will report at 6am on Sunday. More information on Sunday will become available shortly. This weekend is a great opportunity for you to jump in! The corps is filling up fast in every section, but a few spots remain. We are specifically looking for a trumpet or two, a baritone, a euphonium, mallet players, and a snare drummer. We're looking for experienced individuals who match our vibe...hard working, energetic, and a desire to be the best at what you do. We WILL fill this drum corps...sooner rather than later! Will YOU be one of them? Could be. Don't let this opportunity pass you by. This is definitely going to be a show and a drum corps that people talk about for a long time. If you're interested, please visit www.windsor-regiment.org and fill out our membership form. Someone will be in touch with you right away. The BEST way to answer all of your questions and get a good sense for what Windsor Regiment is all about is to come out to our next rehearsal. Jump right in. We won't make you sign anything...but we're confident that you'll want to by the time you leave. Just a few spots left and we're full. Take one of those spots! You won't regret it. Windsor Regiment March Rehearsal #2 & St. Patrick's Day Parade Saturday, March 17th. 10am-6pm Sunday, March 18th. 6am-TBA Robbinsville High School 150 Robbinsville Edinburg Road Robbinsville, NJ
  11. Windsor Regiment is pushing into March with energy and excitment. The winter season is coming to a close and the membership, staff, and administration are all looking forward to putting our 2012 production "Angels in the Architecture" on the grass! This past weekend the brass was able to learn our ballad, Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah." This popular song, arranged by our own Chris Kilian, is infused with a beautiful chorale from "Angels in the Architecture" by Frank Ticheli and will really give you something to hum on the way home! There are also a few surprises which we can't divulge right now...but we'll definitely give you something maybe you haven't seen or heard before. The corps will resume work on 3/3 and 3/4 in Robbinsville, NJ. The brass will report from 10am-6pm on Saturday, March 3rd, and the entire corps will report from 10am-5pm on Sunday, March 4th. Each section will be learning new music, so it's a great opportunity for you to jump in! The corps is filling up fast in every section, but a few spots remain. We are specifically looking for a trumpet or two, a baritone, a euphonium, mallet players, and one bass drummer.

  12. Spots are being gobbled up as I type this! We need a couple trumpets, a baritone, a euphonium, a bass drum, and a couple pit members. We're in spectacular shape, the corps has most of the show down, and we're actually teaching some of the visual program this weekend. February 19th, 10am-5pm. Robbinsville High School. Be a part of it!
  13. Bud Johnson brough Rip to help out at Archbishop Ryan HS when I was there. He was a nice guy and always said hi to me when I'd see him at DCA shows. This is sad news indeed.
  14. Windsor Regiment just finished an extremely successful rehearsal weekend in which the corps continued to tackle the challenging show material and make huge strides forward in quality and execution. We welcomed even more new faces to the fold, and the corps wrapped up the weekend with a powerful and energetic ensemble rehearsal. The corps' opener, "Stained Glass" continues to evolve and mature. This is a difficult production, but one that will "wow" audiences and draw them into our "cathedral" on turf. There are fast, rhythmic passages, lush melodic passages, and even a fugue that helps to bring the piece to a rousing conclusion. Brass and percussion will get back together on Sunday, February 19th for a one day power rehearsal. Each section will be learning new music, so it's a great opportunity for you to jump in! The corps is filling up fast in every section, but a few spots remain. We are specifically looking for a trumpet or two, a baritone, a euphonium, mallet players, and one bass drummer.
