Perfect
Day update
Following the Olympic Retreat at Western Beat at
Cheltenham on Sunday 10th June the combined brass lines
of Concord, Kidsgrove Scouts and The Senators remained
on the contest field for an open rehearsal of Perfect
Day, the Lou Reed classic that has been chosen as the
"anthem" for DCUK 2007.
For approximately ½
hour over 50 players were taken through the music and
individual sections were given instruction culminating
in a full ensemble performance in front of an appreciative
audience who stayed behind to watch the piece come
together.
Eoin O'Keeffe who produced the arrangement
and ran the rehearsal remarked afterwards "It was
great to see the brass players from the Corps integrate
so well and after such a short amount of time produce a
minute and a half of music".
A further rehearsal
will take place at the next DCUK Contest on Saturday 7th
July in Chelmsford and the numbers taking part look like
doubling as they prepare to showcase the piece at the
British Drum Corps Championships in September.
