Houston Show

Revolution YPA
P.O. Box 15950
San Antonio, TX 78212

The Houston show was a great success. The corps looked and sounded great, and the audience was very receptive. Thanks to all the parents who answered the call to bring fresh fruits and vegetables as well as some yummy dessert mixes. After the show, the corps members dined on pizza and visited with parents who made the trip to Houston.

The corps will be leaving Houston tomorrow and head to one of our favorite housing sites: Calvary Temple Church in Kerrville. It's a great facility with a full commercial kitchen, which will make the cooks very happy! In Kerrville, the corps will fine tune the show and get ready for the second half of the tour, which begins next Saturday in San Antonio. On Friday, July 17, there will be a Parents/Community Day BBQ at Calvary Temple. More details will be posted later in the week.

The corps is in need of donations of powdered Gatorade. Apparently the big cans of powder are not available at Sam's Club, so they have had a hard time getting them while on tour. If parents can please bring a couple of the large cans to San Antonio or Kerrville, it would be greatly appreciated.

We've had several birthdays during the first two weeks of July, all in the trumpet section. Happy Birthday to:
William Brasher 7/6
Bonifacio Cordero, Jr. 7/12
Joe Andrew Gomez 7/13

Thanks to all the wonderful parents and supporters who have responded to the request to pay tour fees and who have made donations to the corps. Fees still need to be paid as soon as possible, and tax deductible donations are always appreciated. Checks or money orders can be sent to the PO box above, or paid via paypal by using the 'donate today' link on the right.
