February 4th, 2010:  January Camp report

The direction and momentum that was established from the Audition camp continued through this first camp of 2010. There is a sense among all that were there that this will be a very special year for the Oregon Crusaders.  With brass and percussion sections nearly full, the corps performed about 5 minutes of the opener and ballad to a crowd of nearly 60 parents, supporters and staff outdoors. The guard also got into the act by performing some guard work in the opener.  With a nearly 60% vet base and some very good new players in the brass line, the sound is very mature for this time of year.

OC Visual rehearsal

 

The purpose and intensity of the members was evident, as they appear to be on a mission this year - to take the Oregon Crusaders to a new level of performance excellence.

Another highlight of the camp was a leadership workshop led by Board President, Dr. Phil Marshall.

The Oregon Crusaders would like to thank the volunteers, parents, and staff for putting on a great camp.

There are still a few openings for select Brass and Percussion and Color Guard.  If interested, please register online here or contact director@oregoncrusaders.org.
