The Mall gig was fun. But we're moving on to bigger and better things, all the time! THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS STANDING STILL. You're either moving ahead, or you're falling behind.

capitalbrass Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 (edited) Cool! Thanks DCkid and Mellotrump. We still get regular public jabs and insults (as recently as this week) from certain loser hacks. And, so, the supporters who chime in are very much appreciated. We keep pressing ahead; developing our little group, more and more, into a legit brass ensemble. You would be very surprised at the sounds we're getting out of the Holiday set. The Classic Christmas pieces are just another way of expanding our skills. In addition to the new music; we are exploring new venues where the ensemble will be welcomed and appreciated. We also expect to do some more recording. The Blues Evolution project gave us all the bug to do more.

You and I had our schitck down pretty well as I stumbled my way through introducing CB ... hopefully your association with the re-birth of I&E shows will continue ...Andy We may do a trip to a drum corps event or two in 2010, but haven't really settled on exactly what we're doing yet. We're really still on our Fall hiatus until January. The Holiday Ensemble schedule is just 2 short rehearsals and 2 performances; squeezed in during our time off. When we start getting together regularly, we'll have more opportunity to talk about what we'll be doing in the Spring and Summer. I have to say that the guys were all really happy to be rehearsing together again. And the way the ensemble sounded in rehearsal, we're all excited about getting things going again, after the Holidays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
