Kidsgrove Scouts to embrace SoundSport
The Kidsgrove Scouts will use the new venture from DCI, SoundSport, to increase performance and design opportunities for members. The corps will feature an ensemble at the SoundSport Bristol event on Saturday 21st March.
SoundSport events showcase instrumental ensembles of any instrumentation and any skill level all year-round, spotlighting their unique talents and creativity like never before. Kidsgrove Scouts Corps Director Rob Swindells commented: "We have experienced members within our ranks who are capable arrangers and designers. Likewise we also have younger members who are after as many different performance opportunities as possible. SoundSport is something that will work well for us in developing these needs."
Kidsgrove Scouts will preview their first production, 'Bond' at the UK's first SoundSport event in Bristol on Saturday 21 March 2015. The show will feature iconic music from the Bond films including 'You Know My Name', 'Welcome to Cuba' and 'Skyfall'. Kidsgrove Scouts SoundSport Co-ordinator Kris Nock said: "I'm delighted to announce that Kidsgrove Scouts will be taking part in this event in Bristol. This is an exciting new venture for Kidsgrove Scouts and we look forward to presenting our programme."
"SoundSport is delighted to partner with Kidsgrove Scouts on this exciting new program", said John DeNovi, Senior Director, Business Development for Drum Corps International. "It's a driving force in DCI’s efforts to grow the drum corps activity from the ground up while bringing diverse cultures together through music. We believe Kidsgrove Scouts is the ideal partner to help launch the concept in the UK."
