I know they're at least 4 months away but,......what the heck. In know the dates but not the invitee's. Anyone have any info...?
I know the Hit Men Brass Band WON'T be invited.

Make sure you start with a mouthpiece that sounds good in all registers. The cup should be large enough to accommodate easy lip buzzing after your lips fill with blood. (after a few minutes of playing)
Most Important (90% AIR 10% LIP)
Good Luck!

It was something very special!

Is he the "Gascissor" as in Hardy "Gascissor"?

Looks like St. Joe's of the mid to late 60's. One of the finest french horn players that ever played in drum corps, Joe Olverd (unbeatable at I&E's of the 60' and 70's) Baritone player I'm not sure who he is. The soprano player is Lavern Dewitt.

Right on Jeff!

Hmmmmmmmmm...........................
Still don't know who.

Phoenix loves the Sentinels and wished them the best of luck.

The Hit Men were amazed how our new Bb/F DYNASTY's improved tone quality, intonation, and blend. We couldn't be more pleased with them!
I play a DYNASTY at DCA in 1999!

Wonderful job Kevin, Jeff an all. Thank You

What I'm really wondering is how well does a stadium specifically built for soccer work for drum corps?
The stadium works better than a baseball stadium and not as well as a football stadium. I wish it had a little larger seating capacity. But for DCA it seemed to do the job.
-
My only complaint about the stadium is it's location: This is not the safest part of town. I think this stadium was supposed to be the start of an attempt to revive this area of Rochester.
The police presence was highly visible and they were helpful an friendly. I saw a peaceful environment outside the stadium all weekend. Kudos to RPD!
-
And how is the stadium?
I sounded great!

Rochester hosted a wonderful event in every way. The weather helped too!

Thanks for starting this appropriate thread, Keith!!!
I can't wait. My party...uh, DCA schedule begins with the drive, leaving Buckeye Country with Hairbear, then picking up Sandy McNeal 'n Erin August, both of Steel City and more, in Pittsburgh. I'll need lotsa sharpened quill pens and recorder batteries to keep up with all the TALL TALES during that ride. Then, it's Sleepless in Rachacha...Hmmm, methinks I just titled my post-DCA column.
Cya there. Stop and say "Howdy!" at the Clarion (Bennigan's promises they won't run out of sasparilla this year), Sop/Mello/Frenchie I&E Venue, Minicorps, Alumni Spectacular, Prelims 'n Finals! I'll be the one in perfectly matched roundish lenses.
Cozy,
Ok, there's good news and bad news, bad first: Bennigan's is no more!
good news: It's now called The Main Street Bar and Grill
Also, the brass ensemble competition looks to be the best ever. Think about catching some of it. See you there at 7:45.

Somehow active every year, since 1955, in the marching activity (performer, rifle, bugle, trumpet, french horn, drum major, staff, instructor, arranger, judge, junior, senior, alumni, independent, parades, on the field, in the pit, on the stage, UDC, AL, VFW, DCA, DCI, DCE, DCM, RCA, ICA).
I hope to continue another 20 years.
It certainly flew by!

Not a full review, just some quick comments: Sky Alumni, Rebels, Reilly and Archie all put on great shows. Blessed Sacrament, Lambertville and Crossmen Xtreme were also very entertaining. The Hitmen stole the show a bit with their impromptu interludes as corps were setting up backstage. A lot of humor, but solid playing all around from nine talented horns.
There was a little bit of something for everyone, but Sky's big, clean sound and Rebels' total show were the two most pleasing from my vantage point. Solos were all pretty much outstanding for Sky and Robbie Ellis played a sweet couple of solos for the Rebels.
In all, a very enjoyable show.
John,
Thank you for the kind words.
Shamrock Festival Committee,
The Hit Men Brass Band would like to publicly thank the Reilly Raiders ( Carol, Frank, Tony and Al, to name a few) for giving us the opportunity and artistic freedom to entertain your wonderful audience (supporters) at the Shamrock Festival Concert this year.
We also appreciated the extra effort, you put forth, that made our trip so special. You folks took care of it all, and then some.
Thank you all.
Appreciation is also due to Lambertville for their willingness to share. We owe you one, just ask! THANKS
The Hit Men look forward to the next time our paths cross this Labor Day Weekend!
Musically Yours,
David Martin, Director

The Hit Men Brass Band play DYNASTY and LOVE them!

congrats to Dave Negri....this is the first I've heard of this, which is weird, considering he's been one of my instructors for years now with CT Alumni, CT Hurricanes, etc.... hopefully I'll be able to see him to congratulate him in person.
James,
Dr. Ostrander is the best teacher I ever had. Tell the Doctor, David Martin student of Herbert Mueller, I.C. class of '78 sends his best. If you go to Barnum, find me and say 'hi".
Keep playing James.
