f1947h Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I hope that everyone is taking the time to get their equipment cleaned, pressed, and polished for Saturday evenings performance. We will not only sound fantastic, we need to look fantastic. Attitude and pride, that's "Statesmen Style" ! Now as David says " go practice and get better". You do not want to be the one that is sent to the center of the floor for not being totaly prepared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumnman2004 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 The corps will be debuting the Fanfare and the Opener of the 2008 summer show music.This in addition to the winter show tunes and section/solo features should be a great cross-section of music for everyone to enjoy. In addition the Marcus Whitman Marching Band will be playing the first half of the show and will also join the Statesmen for a mass group tune at the end. Thanks for asking and we hope to see you on Saturday. Jimmy Steele - Brass Caption Head - Empire - 97-98-99-08 In addition...the Marcus Whitman Winter Percussion Ensemble will also be performing this evening !

Baritone Tammy Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I can't wait!!!

Geneva Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Hi Jimmy, Well, happy 40th, you young whippersnapper! I remember when you were a young lad (my math says five years old) running around Appleknocker rehearsals which your dad was conducting at Geneva. Marcus Whitman, eh? Things come full circle. I wish that I was not working today. Otherwise, I would stop by and say hi. Have a great performance! The Empire Statesmen will be strapping on the uniforms this coming Saturday for their first public preformance of 2008. The Statesmen have been doing winter shows to support local school band programs for many years and this year is no different. The corps will be performing at Marcus Whitman HS (directions on statesmen.org) on Saturday evening March 1st at 7:00 pm. Joining the corps will be the Marcus Whitman Marching Band as well as other ensembles from the instrumental band program. Tickets can be purchased at the door and the cost is minimal for the entertainment that you will see and hear. The corps will be performing tunes from the past (Don't Get Around Much Anymore, I Go To Rio, New York, New York..etc.) as well as performing for the first time excerpts from the 2008 summer show. The evening proves to be very entertaining and the proceeds go directly to the Marcus Whitman HS Band Program. Hope to see you there!!!!
