lcarbonell Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 EARLY MARCH CAMP REPORTThis is the March 2014 Report for The Skyliners!Things are going well despite this brutal winter we are having here in Northeast PA. Attendance remains good. We are very pleased with the corps' progress so far. The horn line has finished the third number and getting ready to learn the ballad. Percussion has the opener learned and completed the second number.Just as a reminder - Our show "A New Dawn, A New Day" consists of "Feelin' Good", "Blue SKies", "It Ain't Necessarily So", "'Round Midnight", and we close with "Caravan".Hard to believe we are into March. If the weather breaks, the brass section will start drill on the 29th of March. Musically, we will continue to push forward to get the show completed before the end of April.We have been preparing for our first public appearance. We will be marching in the Scranton St. Patrick's Day Parade on March 15th. The corps is very excited about this. We've fit everyone for uniforms and practicing parade music. We have a tremendous support staff that helped get us ready. My thanks to all that helped. We could not do this without your love and support.As far as our current numbers:Brass line is still in the mid 20's. Since we've had another contra player joined, we've moved 3 contras over to baritone to give us a better balance. Of course, we can always use more lead sopranos. And we still have 6 contras who get stronger every rehearsal.Battery Percussion - Battery is now at 5 snares, 2 tenors, 5 bass, 3 cymbals.Pit Percussion is doing very well. We are at 10 players there.Color Guard is growing and now at 19.We've also announced our remaining drum majors. Adam Burdett, Steph Carbonell, Elena Dominick, and Rebecca Colwell will lead us onto the field.Next big day for us? We have our DCA Evaluation coming up at the end of March. We are very excited and look forward to passing this with flying colors.Our next rehearsals are:March 16th, 11-7, March 29th, 2-8 and March 30th, 11-7 for the entire corps.My next report will be in early April.
