PHOENIX D&BC Percussion Line

Congratulations to all who marched in drum corps this summer!  I hope
everyone had a great time...good luck to all who are in marching band
this fall, and to all who will be marching indoor color
guard/percussion this winter.

If anyone is interested in marching drum corps in 2004, and if you are
in the NY/NJ/PA region, PHOENIX Drum and Bugle Corps (DCI Division
III--Brick, NJ) has spots opened in all areas of the corps.  The
percussion staff is looking to make great strides during the 2004
season.  The administration is currently working on securing new
percussion equipment, while the staff is preparing the technique and
music program.  The approach for next year is to be more aggressive,
with a stronger visual element, while maintaining musicality
throughout.  The staff is looking to march their largest line ever in
the corps' history: 6 snares, 3 tenors, 5 basses and 6 in the front
ensemble (may also double as field cymbals).  2004 is to be the
breakout year for the percussion line--why not be a part of it?! 
Interested parties can find more information about the corps at their
website:  www.phoenixnj.org. More information about the percussion
line will be following during the next few weeks.  Tell your friends
that play a wind instrument or are in color guard about the corps, as
the brass and color guard sections have openings, too!  Thanks,
everybody...
