What: Open House and First Camp
Where: Rummell High School, 1901 Severn Ave., Metairie, LA 70001
When:  Saturday, November 22, 2003   10am-4pm

The Southern Silver Star Sr. Drum and Bugle Corps will be hosting its first
ever open house on Saturday, November 22, 2003.  The event will run from 10am
to 4pm.  Plans include introduction of the corps and its goals for the 2004
season, informational session including setting up the board of directors and a
few committees.  Afterwards, we plan on starting our preliminary auditions and
rehearsals in each section.  We have equipment already, so expect to be playing
a good deal for this first ever meeting of what will hopefully return the
sounds of bugles and drums to the streets of Southern Louisiana.  The open
house will be held at Rummell High School in Metairie.  Please bring a $25 open
house fee to help offset costs for the corps, equipment, etc.  
If you have marching experience on any level, we highly suggest that you come
check out our program whose purpose is to enhance your life with providing a
healthy, educational environment for all ages.  We have openings in all
captions and wish to field as many people as we can for the 2004 season.  Even
if you are not interested in performing, we hope you can make it out to see
what this is all about and maybe you can help us in another small way for the
upcoming season.  If you are a woodwind player who is curious about joining,
please feel free to come out as we are fully prepared to help you learn another
section to become proficient in.

What to bring:
Brass: Bring a mouthpiece  
Percussion:  Sticks and practice pads
Guard:  Flag if you have one
All: Please don't forget to bring your $25 fee to the camp if you wish to
participate as a performer.  We greatly appreciate it!

The educational staff is looking very forward to meeting the future of what
could be a very positive group in the Southern Louisiana community.  We seek to
enhance the music education of the area and assure all band directors in the
area that we will never take away from your program but rather seek to help
music education in the area by providing another performance medium.  Our staff
consists of those who have marched competitive Sr. and Jr. Corps such as
SkyRyders, Expressions, The Cavaliers, and others as well as those who teach
band programs in the area.  
We hope to see many there for what will be a fun and exciting day of DRUM CORPS
in Southern Louisiana.

Email with any questions, comments, or concerns about the corps or the open
house.


Sincerely,
Tony Marinello
