cabalumnidrummer Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Bump to the front! My daughter (Cabs' Pit 2008) works in the theater where this is being held. She also is one of the three percussionists for the 'Treasure Island' show currently running there and part of the Weekend of Percussion (Saturday at 11 a.m.). The Player's Theater is owned by Michael Sgouros, former Cadet of BC, and her percussion teacher in college. Should be a great weekend. I can't make Saturday due to the 'Dixie Stinger' the same day, but I hope to get here for at least part of Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Nevermann Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 (edited) 4pm- Tom Stubbs – “39 Years of orchestral Cymbal Playing!” (Orchestral) Before that he played snare in the Hutchinson Kansas Sky Ryders D&B corps in the mid 1960s! I played one of his competition snare solos from that era "Three On The House". If any of you talk with him, ask if he remembers the Wichita Scarlet Lancers, who I marched with.
