BariSaege Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Starriders Open House Workshop big success by Oliver Grimm More than 130 people from all over Germany and the US participate last saturday in one of the biggest Open House Workshops ever held in Germany. After the introduction of the staff and techs the group by Corps Director Kerstin Schulz started with a huge M&M block. Basic infos concerning body posture and Marching technique was teached by Volker Tonn (Colts, Kiwanies Kavaliers) and his crew. All participants worked really hard. The goals where high and related with a lot of muscle pain, but in the end everybody overfullfilled the expectations and were happy. After a short lunch break the sections splitted apart. The brass worked in sections worked on basics and learned "America the beautiful". The Drumline also have done a lot of rudimental technique and learned a groovy cadence. The guard section was leaded by 2006 Co-Section head Melanie Schiebler (Crossmen) and Monika Horn. Also this section had a lot of fun to check out what Starriders and Drum Corps looks like. The Pit worked hard on different kind of basics and exercises. At the end all section presended their results in front a of lot of spectators in the Abraham-Lincoln-School of Bad Muender. After the official end of the Open House Workshop, there were a big Season-Off Party in the Starriders Hall. Everybody was happy with this day of fun and hard work. Everybody will take home new impressions and ideas for their work. This was definitly not the last Open House Workshop of the Starriders - next year same place. Starriders are looking for a extremly promising 2006 season. The goals and expectations are high and a highly talented group of international Arranger, Staff and Supporter will do everything to make this comming season to a hugh success. A lot of members will return and a lot of new members from all over Germany and the USA already gave their commitment for a pure champion show. If you are on the fence, become a Starriders and discover "The Blue Ball". The 2006 show "The Blue Ball" will be the journey around our mother planet earth painting all the different continents in musical colors. Green represent the Europe with bulgarian choir music. "Kaval Sviri" will give the audience goose bumps and will be the opening highlight. The Starriders will then travel to the blue continent North America. The easy, cool and jazzy way of living will be reflected in "Summertine" by George Gershwin. Then the Drums Solo brings us to the the yellow painted Asia. Expect a Wall of Sound and Drums. The last station before the return the journey brings us to South-America. An sultry Tango is the heartbeat of the people on this red continent. "El Tango de Roxanne" brings the show to the climax. But is this all? Definitly no. You will see next summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
