Mick Krackin'

One week till Percussion Camp and two weeks until Brass/Percussion. These long stretches in between winter camps only make it sweeter when we all get back together each time. Can't wait to get to work on the closer!

Tom, I hope you are enjoying Australia! Looking forward to the New Year on this side of the globe in about 14 hours.

Jim, I forgot that you knew Julias Ceasar personally. Were you there on that fateful day in March? "Et tu, Jimbalaya" just wouldn't have had the same ring to it. Happius Holidasius!

What a thrill to hear the Hornline and Battery playing the opener together. The talent level and work ethic of this year's Buccaneer corps is impressive. Can't wait until year MMX is here! Valete! Mickus Krackimus

24 hours until STRETCH!

Yeah, I haven't seen Rich Hammond so giddy since......well, let's just leave it at he seems very excited about this show.

Less than TWO DAYS until Bucs Camp!

It's great to see lots of strong reactions to our show announcement. No doubt, ROME will have an impact on all those that see it live.

Word on the street is that even more new & "tweaked" music will be taught to the Hornline this weekend. I don't think I can recall having this much of the show in our hands before the New Year. Spots will go fast this year. Get yourself to Twin Valley this weekend!

I have been going over the scores for this coming weekend's camp and I can't wait to unleash the Mellos on the Pines of Rome. This is going to be one meaty brass book. Luckily, we have some seriously talented vets and new members that I know will be more than up to the task. Be at the Dec 5 & 6 Bucs' Camp!

Get your dancing shoes on Lois! See you there!

Thanks Donny. See you sometime this season.

Time to play test all the Mellos that I borrowed for Membership Day. Hopefully, we will have enough horns for all the Prospects and Vets interested in the 2010 Mello Line. Hope to see lots of you there on Sunday at Twin Valley High School!

4 days to go!

Ready to take it to the limit... ...one more time

I guess I could let him know that the "Dukes of Hazzard" theme song is the ballad this year.

Sorry, that's Top Secret information. Sunday will be here soon.

I just printed my score for the Ballad and the warm-up book. I can't wait to hear them LIVE on Sunday!!! Only 4 days to go!

Great to see all of the hype with the Bucs Alumni corps. I'm sure that 2010 will be a great one for the corps.

Maybe it's the quality of your whistling?

Thanks for the comment Buffy. Best of luck to you in 2010.

Tom, Even you should know better than to leak classified information like that. I get to be the Barber!

Over the next three days, I will be scrounging up as many Mellos that I can to make sure we have enough for the day. Can't wait to get started! 6 Days to go!

Ok! I was already having trouble concentrating on my work knowing that the 2010 season is about to begin in just 6 DAYS. This teaser video did not make things any easier. Nice work Matty! Thanks for what you do for the corps.
