This was the first rehearsal for the DCA Mini-Corps competition. UH was booked up due to a summer band thing. So, Dave Schneider offered to let the Corps rehearse at the Pearland Volunteer Fire Department. Surprisingly the acoustics were pretty good.

We got started an hour late because of some severe thunderstorms moving through central and south Houston. We spent the first 20 minutes in sectionals working out the new chart, Brass Machine. By the end of the night we managed to get through the whole piece 3 or 4 times. For 1 hour, 15 minute rehearsal we got a LOT accomplished. We also reviewed Summertime and tried out the shortened percussion break and modified finale.



Here's Dave telling his firemen buddies that we're not terrorist!



Orlando: "Dude, who wrote those drum parts?!?!"
Craig: "I did"
