Euphscott Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Vigilantes held another successful camp this past Saturday. Color Guard and Percussion were sparse due to local conflicts, but both sections are looking solid with the bodies we know that will be with us. The most encourgaing part of the weekend was the roughly 30 hornline members in attendance. For those that keep score that is more than double our hornline size from last year. Recruiting is going well and a number of paying members were not in attendance, so we expect the line to continue to grow. The first 45 seconds of the opener was handed out and worked. It was and will be a fun way to kick off our 2010 production. The corps has moved to its new rehearsal facilities. A local band group has graciously adopted us in a swap of needs. The Krum high school band program is preparing to begin a new marching band program. They have some tremendous facilities that they can offer us, in return our staff can mentor the band program and give them a headstart in rolling out their program. The school has a strong history of concert band success at local and national competitions, so they will provide us some new quality musicians as well. It is a good sharing relationship. So, there are good things coming from Texas. We are excited about the progress and potential for 2010. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
