kevingamin Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 The Hawthorne Caballeros Alumni Drum & Bugle Corps proudly present their 25th Anniversary Celebration and 2019 repertoire. The 2019 program opens with the Spanish flair of two Caballeros signatures — Call to the Bulls and The Rumps, then charges directly into a driving Larry Kerchner jazz arrangement of Alfred Newman’s Conquest from the movie, CAPTAIN FROM CASTILE, featuring a spectacular Soprano duet. The Corps’ drum line will then thrill you with Les Park’s The Bomb drum solo, introduced in the 1960s. The Kerchner original, Tequila Mockingbird, is a lively Conga featuring three duets and a trio that will make you want to get up and dance. Then hold onto your seats as the Alumni introduce Larry Kerchner's Spanish Heat, which is highlighted by a gorgeous Mellophone solo and a breathtaking Soprano quintet. Next, step back for the Alumni Corps' perennial Color Presentation of Kerchner’s 1972 arrangement of Flamenco Cha Cha, which features an exciting Soprano trio, a magnificent company front and our proud and patriotic Alumni Honor Guard. The Caballeros’ Alumni signature drum solo combines old and new, beginning with Jack Pratt's Caballeros 1972, followed by our own Alumni Drum-to-Drum Solo by John Smith. Andrew Lloyd Webber's Don’t Cry for Me Argentina from the Broadway show, EVITA, features both a beautiful Mellophone and sweet Soprano solo. And finally — you’ll leave with the memory that only the Caballeros Alumni can deliver in Larry Kerchner’s exciting Cabs Finale 2019. For our 25th Anniversary, the Color Guard will be splendidly featured in silver with more than 20 guard members incorporating flags, rifles and body movement designed to complement our 25th anniversary repertoire. The Hawthorne Caballeros Alumni Corps was founded in 1994 and is celebrating their 25th season. The Corps Director is Paul Bongiovi, the Musical Arranger and Instructor is Larry Kerchner, the Percussion Arranger and instructor is John Smith, Drill Designer is Kent Pennell, and the Color Guard Design and Instruction is Ann Durborow, and Mary Lou Bonn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevingamin Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 Horns set up in a double arc, percussion behind them. Guard in the back. Big opening fanfare before rumping some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 Hey, we’ve got drill, baby! Also, a jazzy rendition of Conquest. Weird to hear this from somebody besides Boston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 Horns turn backfield to build up for the Conquest push. The mellophones on their unison note during the turn front are amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevingamin Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 Every year, Hawthorne Alumni is a wall of sound. And screaming sopranos. And thundering drums. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
