Windsor Regiment Announces 2011 Production: "Tango Nuevo"

West Windsor, NJ - January 21, 2011

Following an extremely successful Open House & First Rehearsal weekend, Windsor Regiment Drum & Bugle Corps is pleased to announce our 2011 production entitled "Tango Nuevo."

"Through color, dance, movement, and music we'll bring 'Tango Nuevo' to life," said brass arranger and caption head Chris Kilian. "Each movement will have its own distinct personality and really bring out the intense emotions inherent in this traditional art form."

The corps will be performing the following pieces by the famous Argentinian composer, Astor Piazzolla:

Michelangelo '70

Adios Nonino

La Muerte del Angel

Piazzolla was a diversely trained composer, studying in Argentina and Europe and performing all over the world. His music, however, has a distinct South American flavor, weaving the traditional tango with jazz and contemporary classical music. Windsor Regiment is excited to present this entertaining and challenging program, and the corps has already learned a significant portion of the show music.

Kevin Serfass, director of Windsor Regiment, had this to say about the program: "Adoration, pursuit, seduction, romance, breakup, reconcile; Tango speaks its own language of love, joy, friendship, and passion, and it is wonderful that we can share in the many pleasures of its expressions. Tango Nuevo, the new Tango."

More announcements regarding rehearsal dates as well as future performances will be coming, so stay tuned. For the latest news, or to join Windsor Regiment please visit us at www.windsor-regiment.org. You can also visit us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter!

Thanks FRANK,

This is going to be a SPECIAL year. With recent events in my life, I NEED a project to focus on. This Drum Corps is going to be a POSITIVE release of a LOT of energy and emotion. Plus....ITS THE BIRTH OF A NEW FIELD CORPS.

Those that say they love the activity, should be happy that we're doing the things needed to put a QUALITY program on the field in our FIRST year of marching competition.

I will NOT use this forum to talk bad about people or other drum corps. I WANT ALL DRUM CORPS TO SUCCEED. I know this sentiment is NOT ALWAYS reciprocated, which is THEIR problem.

I wish ALL corps (EVEN THE ONES I WANT TO BEAT) the ABSOLUTE BEST of luck during this season. May you ALL have 100 horns and 150 DRUMMERS at each camp!!! (yeah, more drummers!!!) I also hope all your fundraisers go THROUGH THE ROOF to get instruments in the hands of those 100 horns and 150 drummers.

Good Luck DCA...see you in WILDWOOD!!!

The show is very exciting, and kudos to the organization for taking the leap into some relatively uncharted musical waters with this stuff. Sure, some of it's been done before, but definitely not like this...and we're sure that you're going to dig it and be humming these tunes and drumming on your steering wheel on your way home from shows.

At our next camp (Feb. 5-6) the brass can expect to have roughly 8 minutes of music in their hands, with the percussion not far behind. We already had an ensemble music rehearsal at our last (first) camp (which is good, considering ensemble music is now a caption!), and the members are tearing through it.

Come check us out next weekend at Robbinsville HS! Details are at www.windsor-regiment.org or on our Facebook page.
