Misc. We have 11 (or so) XL Stik drum stands also for sale. There is a mix of tenor, snare, bass stands, and a ton of extra pieces (most are snare I believe). All the stands are in good condition, however the little plastic connector pieces are in rough shape, but if you have the time to do the work you can save yourself a ton of money. I have contacted XL Specialty Percussion about cost and availibilty of replacement parts, will post the information I get from them. If you are interested let me know and we can work something out.

The K-90 is now sold. Still looking to sell my K-80 Euphonium. This horn is in really good shape and a great player. If your looking for a horn with a huge sound, this is it. email or pm me for details and pics.

Sadly, I must part with my K90 King Contra and K80 King Euphonium. Both are in good condition, with some silver loss at the contact points. Both were also used in 2008 with the Derby City Knights, so they are in playing condition. I am not sure what the going rate is on King's these days, so if your interested let me know and we can figure out a price. And before it comes up, K90 does not have the Ab slide stop.

We are still looking for 3 sops, 1 bari, 1 contra and 3 guard.

Hey Cozy, we have a spot for you if your interested.

It is very possible. We have several people that have mini vans, but I have never paid attention to the decals.

The Derby City Knights are rolling through the 2008 season. We are looking to fill the last few spots in our 2008 show. We are still looking for 3 sopranos, 2 baritones, 1 contra and three guard. We would also accept a few more in the front ensemble; however we already are pretty well off there. Our battery is full for the season. Our show this year is "That 70's Show" and includes Karn Evil 9, One More Time Chuck Corea, I'll Be There and Get It On. Now for some recent update: DCK is also proud to announce that our battery is changing over from Yamaha equipment to Dynasty equipment. I would also like to show off DCK’s new look for the 2008. The next DCK camp is June 7th and 8th will be held at Meade County High School in Brandenburg KY. If you are interested in checking us out, please feel free to contact me.

SOLD!

No problem. And Bones, Dave and Cozy can get one if they like, they did do mini with us.

So Ed, Have you had a chance to sport off that DCK member jacket at a MCL Camp?

This horn is still available.

The 1291 is the one of the newer additions to the Miraphone line, a compact instrument with a large sound and a great feel. This sound will fit any playing situation and the low register is incredible. The 1291 is considered to be one of the greatest BBb horns ever made. This horn is about 3 years old, but is still in near perfect condition. The finish is at 100%, and it has only two extremely small dents and a couple of very small scratches(see pics below). Standard Features Bell 18.5" lacquered yellow brass Bore .835" Large bore Key BBb Size 4/4+ Valves 4 piston valves plus 1 rotary valve The 1291 5 valve has a list price of $13,479, however you can get one new from Woodwind Brasswind for $7,195. I am asking for $5500 for the horn and a Tuba Exchange Gig Bag. Cost of shipping, if needed, is not included in the price. I will also say that Fedex, UPS, and USPS will not ship it.

All camps for the 2008 season will be at the Carroll County High School, which will serve as DCK's home for the 2008 season.

Following on the heels of the Derby City Knights 2007 show, the 2008 show promises to continue DCK's tradition of fast paced, in your face programming. The 2008 production is entitled "That 70s Show", will explore several genres of music with charts that were released during the 1970s. The show will feature music from Chick Corea, Chuck Mangione, Bill Chase and Emerson, Lake and Palmer. In the early 70’s Jazz Composer and Pianist Chick Corea took a profound stylistic turn from avant garde playing to a crossover jazz fusion style that incorporated Latin elements. Clearly inspired by the Spanish flamenco, “Spanish Fantasy” was recorded and released in 1976, and was among the most successfully received Corea's albums (My Spanish Heart) among music critics. “Spanish Fantasy” is one of the most accomplished and convincing musical statements Chick Corea has ever made. “Karn Evil 9” is a work by progressive rock group Emerson, Lake & Palmer (ELP), appearing on the album, Brain Salad Surgery. It is regarded by many fans to be among their best works, and at nearly half an hour long, it is also their longest studio recording. To some critics, “Karn Evil 9” embodies what was wrong with 1970s progressive rock: it is lengthy, and at times difficult to digest. However, most musicians would agree that this is ELP's magnum opus. Chuck Mangione is a flugelhorn player and composer who achieved international success with his jazz-pop style. Mangione has released more than 30 albums from the early 1960s to today. Mangione specialized in orchestral ballads that mixed the most atmospheric aspects of bebop music and the most melodic aspects of pop music. The performance of Mangione's "Legend of the One-Eyed Sailor" still exerts a ferocious jolt of life-affirming energy. Bill Chase was an American trumpet player and leader of a jazz-rock fusion band Chase, which released its debut album Chase in early 1971. The album contains Chase's best-known song, "Get It On," which was released as a single and spent thirteen weeks on the charts starting in May of 1971. It features what the hallmark of the Chase brass - complex cascading lines; a literal waterfall of trumpet timbre and technique. We hope you will join us for DCK’s second season. The first camp will be held December 8th and 9th at the Carroll County High School. Carroll County will also serve as DCK's home for the 2008 season. Carroll County High School is located in Carrollton, KY off I-71 between Louisville and Cincinnati. The address is 1706 Highland Avenue, Carrollton, KY 41008. The hours will be 8:30 am to 7 pm on December 8th and 8 am to 5 pm on the 9th.

Best of Luck Brent. I can't wait to see Austin on the field next year.

Thank you very much. I will pass the compliments onto them. Even though it was an extremely long, hot and tiring weekend, we really did have a blast at both Rockmart and Alpharetta. DCK is looking forward to making the trip again next year.

I don't think so, or at least we were not asked to do so. But I guess we would be willing to if needed. And Thanks for that.

I for one can't wait until the Rockmart and Alpharetta shows. DCK is looking forward to another couple of great shows.

Thanks Hulka. I was extremely impressed by volume coming MCL also. I would have never guess you guys had only 25 horns. Can't wait until Rockmart to see everyone again.
