2010 - A Celebration Season !
- It's here and going to be a big one!!!!!!! We are celebrating
our 60th
year as a
Corps and it's shaping up to be a big event all season long. Join
us
all season to
enjoy yourself and celebrate with the Corps. Practice started with a bang
and
things are looking good early. It's great to be back together and looking
forward
to what should be a wonderful summer of memory making.
70 Plus Horns !
- This year the mass corps consisted of over 70 horns plus drum lines and
color
guards. After marching the almost 3 mile parade in 92 degree heat it was
time
for each corps to perform their individual concerts. The Blues Notes from
Ishpeming, Marty's and The Northernaires all played to a very hot but
appreciative crowd. All three corps assembled on the stands to play
together,
Great Escape, Bully, Alabama Jubilee, America, Memory , and You'll Never
Walk Alone were the songs picked to play this year. Each corps brought two
songs to share. It was impressive to see all those musicians together on one
platform and exciting to listen to. The closing number was Walk Alone, the
same way the concert has ended the last few years, emotional. After marching
off, the corps joined again in a large group to play Walk Alone one last
time.
Thank you Menominee for inviting us to be a part of your celebration again
this
year. It's truly a most enjoyable trip and thrill to be a part of all the
music!
Thank You Two Harbors !
- We'd like to thank Two Harbors again this year for a wonderful time. Once
again we enjoyed playing for the parade and the people at the Legion after.
A special Thank You goes out to the 6 members of the Two Harbor's
Legion that once again made the trip to Bessemer on the 4th of July to march
with the color guard in that parade. It means a lot to the Corps members
and we'd like to let the people that watched the parade know how far some
traveled to participate. Thank you again and we'll see you next year!!
We Set A Record !
- This season we set a record that at one time was just a dream. This past
4th
we marched the largest group ever. We had 31 horns, 11 color guard and
16 in the drum line. It was sound that you had to hear for sure. The season
is well under way and what a great time we're all having. Watch for us to be
near you soon.
