WGM Updates Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I got ten seats left on the bus for brass or percussion players that want to be in World Gone Mad for a weekend at Mardi Gras. Here's the deal: The tour bus leaves Austin in the tiny, wee hours of Friday, January 25th. We play in a parade that night and collapse from sheer exhaustion in our most righteous hotel. Then we play in a daytime parade on Saturday, leaving Saturday night free to destroy whatever is left of our brain cells/good judgement, followed by another collapse in our most righteous hotel and the trip home on Sunday. The bus will pick-up and drop-off Houston people around Houston. Somewhere. For those about to rock, you must: Be over 18 years of age. Attend rehearsal in Austin on Saturday, January 5th and Saturday, January 12th. Be prepared to walk (Walk, not march. We don't march.) two five mile parades. Be able to focus during our short rehearsal time and memorize approximately 5 minutes of music between January 5th and 12th. Pay $195 by December 30th to cover your bus and hotel costs. Be able to have a good time Again, we've only got ten open spots. Contact me ASAP for registration info. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davland Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Man! That sounds awesome. If I lived closer or could afford the plane tickets I would totally be a part of that. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorpsBuff Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 This is, by far, the most interesting drum corps idea out there today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravedodger Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Enjoy, Mike! In 2006, I was able to march with the GNODCA for Mardi Gras at the Napoleon parade and had a blast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
