Wow, what an incredible way to start the 2007 season! Returning members and new faces started arriving at Mercy High School at around 11am on Saturday with an hour still to go before practice would get under way. At 12 we all filed into the auditorium to find out what the day and year would hold for us. Looking around me I could see that we were all trying our best to be patient , but without a doubt we were ready to get the new season underway.
The corps spent the next two days picking up where the 2006 season left off. New and veteran members came together to bring the Jerry Kelsey and Colin McNutt arrangements to life, laying the foundation for 2007 to be one of the most entertaining Statesmen shows to date. All who attended left feeling great about what we were able to accomplish for the first camp.
The Empire Statesmen will continue their pursuit of an incredible season in two weeks, November 25-26, once again in the friendly confines of Mercy High School. For more information visit our web site at www.statesmen.org
