NY Skyliners Director of PR Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: RetroSound Drum and Bugle Corps and Capital Brass! are proud to announce an affiliation for the 2007 season with the goal of producing ensembles to perform in a variety of venues throughout the year. This arrangement will provide many opportunities for area musicians, as well as some exciting events for area drum corps and live music fans! Work is already underway with formal rehearsals starting in mid-September. Parades, standstill concerts, and marching music in a traditional drum corps style will be the main thrust of RetroSound Drum and Bugle Corps, while Capital Brass! will produce a standstill "mini-corps" playing a variety of music styles. The Retro Sound Board of Directors brings extensive experience with DCA field and alumni corps and also has members with recent drum corps management experience. The Capital Brass! Planning Board is represented by ex-members of the Capitol Brass Sr Corps - the last competitive corps, junior OR senior, to hail from the Capital Region of NY State; and brings experience in producing professional ensembles as well as competitive drum corps. The combined organizations have a wealth of experience in performance, production, corps management and in coordinating DCA contests and other events. Both groups will offer quality instruction from experienced professionals. Recent discussions between the two young groups uncovered a common desire to bring drum corps opportunities to area musicians, despite their diverse approaches; and also, a great potential for synergy in combining their efforts on several management and creative levels. It is expected that a joint effort to launch these programs, as well as ongoing cooperation and support between the groups, will result in more successful and satisfactory results for both groups in 2007. We encourage anyone interested to hop on board early so that you may help plot our course towards the future! We look forward to meeting you and performing for you in 2007! Be sure to tell your family and friends about this exciting opportunity. Click here to access The Capital Brass Website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
