Appalachian Sound (a standstill group in Bristol, TN designed as a developing drum & bugle corps program) still has openings available for the 2006 season! for more information, please visit http://www.appalachiansound.org http://www.myspace.com/appalachiansound

the Appalachian Sound Brass & Percussion Ensemble (which is becoming the Appalachian Sound Drum & Bugle Corps next year by the way :)) is having the Cadets MUSIC IS COOL! Workshop at Carson Newman College in Jefferson City, TN on Tues. June 20th. The FUN! Youth Organization (sponsoring group of Appalachian Sound) would like to begin hosting an annual drum corps competition (possibly at Carson Newman because of the large, new, turf stadium) however, we're not sure yet if this would be possible since it is so close to the Sevierville, TN contest. One good thing though is the Sevierville show is popping at the seems (remember seeing fans recently sitting on the visitor's side) so who knows. Think there would be enough support in the region? Other locations we're looking into as a possibility would be a high school in Kingsport, TN, or UVA-Wise in Wise, VA. As we begin down the drum corps path next season... we'll be needing some more help on our team... so if anyone reading this post in the region might be interested in helping out, please email us at director@appalachiansound.org and let us know. tks! http://www.myspace.com/appalachiansound http://www.appalachiansound.org

Here's the first recording of the Appalachian Sound Brass & Percussion Ensemble Show: Pamplona! by Key Poulan This is our first full run though, so it's obviously a little...ok VERY rough around the edges ... but we're very pleased at the progress we've made in our first season as a developing drum and bugle corps and look forward to growing each year! http://www.appalachiansound.org/media/AppS...er_4-9-2006.wmv
