B) Baritone player, great we need Baritones. Hope to see you at the next Brass Attack practice. Sincerely, Rick Burns

Time for a Bump

FYI, we are the horn line for Pacific Alliance. Hope to see some new faces on the 12th. www.pacall.net Rick Burns B)

B) Great news. Need to find a sub for a big band gig but I plan to be there and will try to bring a few of my Pacific Alliance Brass Playing friends along as well. See you in Feb. Rick Burns ^0^ ^0^ ^0^

B) Just signed up and I am looking forward to this once in a lifetime experience. I have been very fortunate to have been around so many talented people from the Kingsmen organization during my years with the Seattle Imperials. This is going to be a blast. Mike Duffy is my favorite instructor and it is going to be a blast playing in this hornline under his direction. No one can hype a line like Mike. Maybe this will help him get into the hall of fame, let's see. It is also going to be very emotional for me, Stanley was very close to our family. My wife was with him during his last moments. Had the privilege of performing at his memorial here in Seattle and would love to participate with this group in a tribute to him as well. Will see you all soon Rick Burns

:P Thanks to all of you for your comment's this is great! Here are some thing's that we are working on. Can only speak for the horns, however I am sure the drums are up to something. Working on a rehearsal facility. Hornline will rehearse @2 times per month to start. We plan to put together a Mini-Corps type of show to perform at guard shows, @shopping malls, festivals, summer concert in the park show's, DCA 06 or 07? (not sure yet) This will be in addition to our parade schedule. We are still planning however this is a start. Please check our web site for up-date information www.pacificalliancedrumcorps.org Thanks,

Thanks, your comments are on target. the majority of our members do not wish to participate in full corps competition. AT THIS TIME.

Thanks for the kind words. Several of us plan to join are great friends the Renegades for the Chinese New Years parade in 06. Please keep us posted. ^0^

Don't know you either. Come on out and introduce yourself, grab a horn, drum, guard equipment, (which ever you choose) or just visit and make new friends. You are welcome any time. :)

Prima donna? Well I have been called worse. 2006? OK lets go for it

B) Great picture's. Major prop's to Bob (Robert) Lamb. Hey who is that Soprano player on the end? Sure does look familiar. How does Mini-corp's sound for 2007? Let us know fellow drum corps family, would love to know what you think. Rick Burns Seattle Imperials 74-82 NWV 98,99,01 Pacific Alliance 86,87,04,05 Seattle Cascade Parent 05, Renegade ? Maybe ^0^
