Mick Krackin' Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I can't wait to perform this incredibly exciting program for our Friends & Family. Plus, this year we have our very own outstanding Alumni Corps playing as well. This will make an already great day into something very special. What a great way to get ready to kick off the season! And then... 12 DAYS & 5 REHEARSALS UNTIL WILDWOOD!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jami Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Can't wait to see the alumni corps - this is the first time they've performed at F&F Day in my 5 years with the corps and it's really going to be a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Krackin' Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 4 Days from exactly right now and Buccaneer fans will be pouring into Buc Field to kick off Friends & Family Day. It's going to be a blast seeing their faces when the corps plays the first impact in Verdi's Requiem. Do we have a paramedic on standby?

TomMoore Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 Blast is the correct word, indeed. Not to mention a performance by the Buccaneers Alumni corps. So, if you're in the area and curious, come by and get a double dose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
