GMKuzma Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Actually the corp's director, me; lives in Thomasville, GA.....so the mailing address for the corps is Thomasville. AS far as Jacksonville goes, we are actually now located in Middleburg, FL which is just outside of Jacksonville. We are not really supported by the city anymore so we are looking for a more permanent home of which Middleburg has offered to us. A great round of applause and thanks to those in that town. In actuality, the corps now represents the state of Florida as it is the only corps in the state that makes its home there. We do have some very close ties with the state of Georgia too, as our spring training site is at Brooks County Middle & High School. We have a great repore with the band directors, Ms. Chris Huss and Mr. Alan Carter there and will continue to call that our home away from home. Over the past year, Thomasville has also played a big part in the housing of the corps. Last year we were the primary representative of the Rose Parade in Thomasville and a great big thanks goes out to the city and Thomasville High School for opening it's doors to us for a week of rehearsals between tours. So, we like the fact that the corps is being considered a representative from both Florida and Georgia at this time. When you see the Teal Sound in the future, just know that we are happy to be in your town, wherever we may be announced from and as Dylan stated in his post, it was kind of cool guessing where we would be from night after night!! We look forward to seeing all out at auditions this December and until then.....keep PRACTICING!! Just wanted to say I saw you guys this summer and was very impressed. The corps has made some nice improvements on the field. The brass really blew me away in Pennsylvania. Ron Ellis and the brass staff did a nice job. It's also not easy operating a drum corps in Florida. Keep up the good work! -GM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Myusik4Jakassez Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 On the Rumble in the Desert shirt from Texas, it says Jacksonville, Georgia. That's a little more permanent, but still funny. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Myusik4Jakassez Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 On tour this year , we got every jacksonville and sometimes thomasville in the country. It was kind of a fun way to start the show , standing on the sstarting line wondering where we were going to be from that night. That's really interesting, because we had that kind of experience this year as well, just it wasn't a town. Our drum major's last name is spelled "Dougherty", but pronounced like "DOCKerty". sometimes the announcer would pronounce it like it's spelled, and other times he'd have trouble pronouncing it altogether. They only pronounced it right once in our entire season: at Grand Finals, and only because Tommy told them before the show! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U27athecopa Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Very interesting news about Revolution - it seems now there will be an additional Open Class Corps announced from Georgia AND Texas. I wonder if they'll be announced "from San Antonio, Georgia.............. Revolution!" ? Or perhaps from "Atlanta, Texas"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
