Kansan Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 (edited) Being a Govenaire is never an easy task, but this is ridiculous: Looks a lot like Johnson County, KS at the moment. Snows not as high but everything is snow covered and frozen. Edited January 23, 2007 by Kansan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoli Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Nate's playing Mellophone this year? I wish both Nate and Bethany luck. They'll do well for the Govies, I'm sure. No, he's on trumprano. He's in the front of the line there tan jacket - you can't see his horn. We're pleased as pie to have him around. Yamaha Tubas - Super Sweet. Chrome Tubas - Better than nothing at all.

00Sop Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Not to take away from that, but that's nothing compared to corps from Canada. A major source of fundraising is marching in Christmas parades, sometimes up to three a day.Your pictures look like a cakewalk compared to some of the horrendous conditions I've marched in. :) Corps looks great, though! Haha. I was wondering how long it would take to get a: "Oh yeah, when I was kid, I had to ........" response. Too funny. :P Best wishes for a great season Govies. It's a balmy 40 degrees and partly cloudy outside my window today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoothy Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 I am going to confess. Our snow is not that deep either. Those are snow banks made from the plows. I purposely posted all the pictures that look like we're drowning in snow. We actually only have about a foot of snow at the moment and didn't have any snow till mid-January. The temperature for that day was about 25 degress (that's Farenheit for you Canadians). And as Amber pointed out, we were reheasing for a parade we're doing in two weeks in St Paul (Winter Carnival).

Guard Diva Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 <-------------taught a summer band camp in the snow once...........wish I could do drum corps in the snow...that would be fun............for about 10 minutes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G_Bass Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I believe those are brand new Yamaha BBb's are they not? Nice horns very dark sound. Cabs line is yamaha. Great Choice Yeah, I played on them for some auditions. Can't complain. If I ever went to a corps with Bb horns (which I may never anytime soon), I'd want to play one of those. But not those prototypes the cavies have that weigh 13 lbs. I want a meaty horn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guse Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 you didn't see the part where we marched up hill both ways, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A27Lancer Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Why in the 1980 Olympics opening ceremony ... blah blah blah... with an injured bass drummer on my back ...blah blah... :P Seriously, you folks should try gluing sandpaper to the bottoms of your corps shoes. Helps prevent slipping on the ice! Good luck in the parade!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
