Hope to see some new faces on the 12th. www.pacall.net Rick Burns B) Well yes, we are the same guys as the Pacific Alliance.......mostly, but I would consider the Pacific Alliance to be a different "program". Pacific Alliance is a Seasonal (summer) group that performs at Parades in the Seattle area. Everyone is invited, regardless of playing ability. We learn one piece of music on our 2 or 3 valve G bugles, and put it on the Streets with our drumline, and Guard. 3 parades, some pizza and we call it a year. We have had good success with this program. It's time to take the next step. The "Seattle Brass Attack" (working title) is not a parade corps. It is not a field corps. It's probably most like a mini corps, other than we will not be restricting ourselves to 21 players. We plan on kickin butts, and takin names. It is likely that once the "Attack" is established we will develop a subset. The "Open All Knights" (another working title) will be minicorps sized, and making plans for Labor Day. It's taken years of backroom negotiations, and political arm bending, but all the hard work is about to bear fruit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbajames Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 I would pesonally like to see 50-60 horns. For an area enriched with alumni from the Cascades and Crusaders we should be able to build a huge sound this season. Look forward to seeing many new (old) faces Mar 12th.

argonaut Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 (edited) Do you have G Bugles to use? The only G bugle I have is a valve rotary model. Edited March 5, 2006 by argonaut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TicTickyTic Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 Do you have G Bugles to use? The only G bugle I have is a valve rotary model. Why yes we do. We have access to a beautiful set of matching Kanstul 3 valve bugles in the glorious key of G! Pretty cool eh? They have been generously loaned to us by the Seattle Cascades. ^OO^ This project would not be possible without their help. Viva la Northwest Drumcorps!

I'm getting a "Page Cannot Be Displayed" error message when trying to access it. Rice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
