strutta Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Sad to report that Mass Brass Mini Corps will not be performing at Bridgeport. I'm not sure how that was not communicated to you AJ but I informed BHOF of this a couple of weeks ago. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brassomaniac Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 (edited) CB! will be in the house. We're still on the small side... and we have 8 players making their debut, or switching to new parts this week (including a new drummer to work in yet). But, last night's rehearsal showed that everyone is committed to bringing this off. And, we finally have enough people available to hit the road and make us (minimally, at least) "mini-corps" sized. So, it looks like we're going to be able to bring the mini-corps show out for the first performance of 2008, at Bridgeport. In addition, our Brass Ensemble will be performing: "The Brass-O-Maniacs - a Cartoon Symphony". We'll have a full group, on that one, for the first time.
