Empire Statesmen 2009 Kick Off!


Recommended Posts

Another GREAT camp !!!! :thumbup:

David Orser what an amazing arrangement - thank you for taking the time to explain the tempo count to me. That tune is going to have the crowd standing and screaming. The music teacher from our local school district that I am taking private lessons from and who marched with the Cadets LOVES the arrangement and is looking forward to hearing the full corps version. I invited him to one of the upcoming one day camps.

Tom - just to let you know - I asked help from my "phenoms" !! They worked hard with me so that I can now count to 16 and 8 !!! Marissa said that since that took some time she wanted to wait a few days and let that sink in before she explains "forward" and "backwards" to me !!! :tongue:

Can't wait until the next camp !!!

I can vividly remeber nailing Dave Orser's dad about some type of Canadian vibrato. It doesnt seem to be hereditary.

Ryan is playing pretty well these I days, I concur.

Donny,

My father is the king of Vibrato. In fact when he crosses the border, Customs makes him declare his vibrato. It's this new Homeland Security thing you folks have going on -- they think it is some kind of weapon of mass destruction or something.

With his vibrato -- my brother and I are lucky we weren't born shaking!

If I weren't going to be in Hawaii, I would be in attendance. Empire is a great place to march. Great people, a great staff, and always entertainment with excellence.
