The corps has arrived in Kansas City and will once again be putting on a clinic for the students at our host school. The corps continues to get a little better as we learn to adjust to life on the road and deal with all the tour madness. First show is tommorrow so the group will be doing uniform runs today to get better prepared.

On The Road Again!

The Corps is officially on the road and Tour 2009 is in full swing! EVERYONE was glad to get out of TX and get this show on the road! While we have not escaped the heat it is nice to get away and see a different location. We had bus issues last night (Late/missing seat/Storage Bays) that pushed our departure back but we managed to make it all work and get on the road. We are very grateful to the Akins HS housing site for our wonderful 2 week stay.

2009 Texas Drum Corps Preview

The corps performed last night at the drum corps preview on the steps of the Texas Capital here in Austin. They were nothing short of amazing. They sounded great, and looked sharp in their Revo Under Armour and black shorts. As hot as it's been here lately, their uniforms would just be too uncomfortable.

After their performance, many in the audience (and not just Revo supporters) were on their feet cheering for the corps. John Rodriguez received the following email today:

"I just returned home from watching the Texas Drum Corps preview. What a great surprise to hear the corps this year! The hornline may be smaller than The Crossmen but your hornline put out much more power and better quality sound. Your arrangers have done a great job with the musical program this year. I can't wait to see the show on the field. I was in Madison cherring for Revolution with my little Texas flag in hand the year that Revolution won the Divison 2 championships. Good luck this season!"

Today was laundry day for the corps, and tomorrow they will rehearse and get ready to hit the road. What a great two weeks this has been! I'm so proud of what the corps and the staff has accomplished, and I am truly in awe of these fine young men and women.

The heat continues

The past few days have been miserably hot, but the corps continues to work hard on the show. It's really rewarding to see how the corps. has grown not only in their musical abilities, but personally as well. The members have really become a family unit over the past week and a half. It's great to hear them giving each other encouragement and motivating each other to continue on.

We made a mail run this week, and quite a few members received letters and cards from home. Please remember to check the blog and website for the next mail drop.

Don't forget about the Texas Drum Corps Preview this Saturday at the Capital. Hope to see you there!
