dannyboy Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 You should bop down with Kenny to St. Charles, IL for the US Open Brass Band Championships on Saturday if it works into your schedule. Kenny goes to this and some of his brass band arrangements have been performed. US Open founder, Dallas Niermeyer (DCI and band adjudicator) set up a DCI-influenced adjudication sheet that rewards entertainment value and (gasp) visual. I've seen these brass bands do more choreography than minicorps. Star United would be humbled. Actually, some past Star United members have been in bands at US Open (El Guappo and Banyots...) http://www.usopenbrass.org Brass Band of Central Florida - Orlando, Florida Capital City Brass Band - Lansing, Michigan Chicago Brass Band - Chicago, IL Dublin Silver Band - Columbus, Ohio Eastern Iowa Brass Band - Cedar Rapids, Iowa Fountain City Brass Band - Kansas City, Missouri Illinois Brass Band - Arlington Heights, Illinois Prairie Brass Band - Arlington Heights, Illinois Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
