DCI

Interested in seeing a drum corp performance up close and personal? You still have time.

Drum Corp season is quickly coming to an exciting end, but you still have a few options to catch a show either live or in a theater. Visit www.dci.org for ticket information. There is a show in Gadsden, AL, on this Friday, July 24, 2009 and a show in Atlanta this Saturday, July 25, 2009. Ticket information can be found on the dci website.

Click the picture above to see the trailer for the Quarter-Final LIVE broadcast in theaters on August 6, 2009. The closest showing for us is in Trussville, AL.

Grab some friends and go see for yourself! You won't regret it.

Rock Band

Ever thought how cool it would be to start your own rock band? Jam Studio (click here) can give you the opportunity to experiment and do just that. It is a free online studio that helps you easily create tracks that you can play along with on any instrument. Beginning or Advanced it is entertaining to play around with.

Have Fun!

Facebook/ Dega Band

Since alot of you guys are stubborn and set on not getting on degaband... lol.... but I know that you all get on facebook... so I have set up a facebook account to discuss band matters and give links to degaband. It is simply a method of using degaband more often through facebook. The link to the website on facebook is http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=132553135369 you must then log in before posting comments as it is a group like other groups on myspace. It is simply a good way to keep up with degaband from your facebook. =D

Star Spangled Banner Video

Check out this video of Spirit Camp. This is Blake conducting his portion of the closing ceremony. Great job Blake!

A few pics from Spirit Camp....

On the final day of camp an audience of friends, family and instructors gathered to observe the skills of the Spirit Camp Participants. Drum Majors showed off

Their Conducting Skills.....

Their Marching Skills......
and the finalists conducted individually.
Congratulations Blake on your 2nd place finish!
(Blake won the privilege to conduct the Star Spangled Banner on the final performance!)
