The Tin Soldiers attend DCI SoundSport Bristol event
The Tin Soldiers from Sheffield have announced its attendance at the DCI Soundsport event in Bristol on Saturday 21st March. With the Tin Soldiers, three groups have already registered for the event on 21st March.
Sheffield has a rich history of Drum Corps and music in general. The Tin Soldiers are looking to add to that. They are an alumni of all Sheffield based drum corps from the past and present: Concord, Jordanaires, Vulcans, Forgemen, Shades of Blue, Arrows and Sheffield Corps of Drums.
They recently performed at their first public appearance alongside Concord Allstars (Juniors) and the Concord Seniors, and the group's mission statement is: "Have fun and be awesome." Their show is called 'Beg, Borrow, Steal'.
"It's been nearly 30 years since some of our members have played a brass instruments so as you can imagine our chops were and are still very rusty. We have got to where we are today by begging, borrowing and ermm hard work. Instruments from all over the place and music from where we can get it, hence our very short initial programme for Bristol."
Their theme is 'This is what we have and this is what we are playing!'. "We will be performing 'This Masquerade' - a classic alumni piece with no deep meaning whatsoever as well as the classic 'God Bless the Child'. Short squealy and chop busting and if we can find another suitable piece we will give it a go. We are nailing the first part of our mission statement, the second part will come with time."
The registration form and an information package of the European SoundSport event can be found at www.drumcorpseurope.org/soundsport.
