GULF COAST SOUND ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP WITH

LONE STAR COLLEGE-NORTH HARRIS

The Gulf Coast Sound Drum and Bugle Corps of Houston, Texas (GCS) is pleased to announce a partnership with the Lone Star College-North Harris Campus (LSC-NH). The partnership will entail the offering of a drum corps class for continuing education credit during the Fall 2010, Spring 2011, and Summer 2011 semesters, and optional membership with GCS and its competitive all-age drum and bugle corps.

The class will be taught by Dr. Brack May, Director of Bands at LSC-NH, and Brass Caption Head for GCS. Full instruction in brass, percussion, and guard will be provided. In conjunction with this partnership, GCS will move its rehearsal facilities to the LSC-NH campus. In commenting on the partnership, GCS Director Corey Mark, said, “This partnership will benefit both organizations in the coming years. It will enhance the LSC-NH Music Department’s reputation as the premier performing arts program of the growing Lone Star College System, and will provide the local community and 16,000 students of LSC-NH a way to enjoy post-secondary participation in the marching arts with the region’s only nationally touring drum and bugle corps.”

Classes will begin on September 25. For information on class enrollment, please contact Dr. May at Brack.M.May@lonestar.edu. Comments and questions concerning the Gulf Coast Sound Drum and Bugle Corps can be sent to Corey Mark at Director@GulfCoastSound.org.
