Home Show Fast Approaching!
Green Thunder Percussion continues to prepare for their home show appearance on Sunday, February 14, 2010 at Plainfield HS. With their tarp painted and music completed, the group spent Saturday at Lyons Township High School learning the first half of the closer drill and setting it to music. Drill designer, Pete Weber, attended the second part of the evening block with the group, offering his feedback and observations to visual instructor, Paul Wiercioch. By the end of the evening, the members were moving and playing through the first 5 mins of the show production. When asked how things are going, Brian Spicer, GTP tenor instructor, gave his impression on how the members have progressed. "The guys are working really hard every weekend to get the show on the floor, and everyone is very excited about how it's coming together. It's a long pre-season, but all the hard work since last fall is starting to pay off. It will be nice to get a public performance under our belts at the home show on February 14."
