The Kingsmen Alumni Corps have located, validated, and purchased 3 of their original 1972 tympani...right here in SoCal...

Mmmm...personally I think it's a great development!

Maybe even an omen... :)

The KINGSMEN AC will be doing a stand and blow show at the NAMM convention in Anaheim Saturday morning, January 21 at 9-9:30 in front of the Anaheim Convention Center. There are presently about 250 members signed up to perform that day.

Come see the KINGSMEN...it's all free....it's all good.

You are correct. Paul sometimes has problems reading his calendar ^0^

There's a small few using Bb's(not b's) but don't worry, none are holding down 3rd valves. :) There are many using p/r horns too.

I think Ludwig's catalogue is still showing some marching timps too, last time I looked at one at the music store I teach at. :)

Simply put, I won't be marching anywhere next year, thus a ticket is necessary! Dale was my instructor when I marched with the South San Francisco Conquistadors in '79 and '80. I ended up marching in BD's snareline in '81 and '82. Dale pushed chops and I give him credit for that! Houpt is the last name. Earl Brown marched with the Kingsmen, the Commodores, and the awesome '77 Freelancers snareline. I was privy to march with him last year in the Renegades.

It appears a correction is in order :laugh: You look AWESOME on the field Kelley. Can't wait to see you girls and guys on July 14th in Long Beach.
