JimF-LowBari Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Can't wait to see how many contras we can fit on the stage this year. LMAO, last year or year before someone (Navy?) came out with a bunch of Contras. Someone was marveling about that and my ex-tuba playing sister asked "So what's Westshores" number this year?" and we started laughing. When the 13 or so for WSM came out the guy who was marveling had his jaw hanging open. Hey 'tis the season for Contras.... Lancers picked up another one this past practice. Think we get one more we run out of horns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sayre Kulp Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I figure if we can bump it up to 24 we can have our own riser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sis and I both went "ROMMMMMM!!!".... Edited January 29, 2010 by JimF-3rdBari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sayre Kulp Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 good God man, the stage is only so big, especially with a pit again this year So it'll be a little bit cozy up on stage. As long as there's enough room for the mallets to reach full extension and the horns to lean back and "crowd hump", we'll be okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
