SPOTLIGHT : Blake DuPriest
I went to try out for Renegades after I was cut from SCVC. The drum caption head told me about Renegades and highly recommended that I go for Renegades. So I figured it wouldn’t hurt to try out. During the auditions, I was starting to realize how big of a unit the corps was, not just in numbers but in family numbers! Ever since the first day I have enjoyed it. I really like being part of this big family corps and will continue to enjoy my career at Renegades.

Take two of these
(Kanstul Euphonium Bugle in G)
Ship them off to Dick Akright at
A&G Music , and let his crew get a hold of them…
The end result….
your very own G Tuba!
The person behind this?
Tony Clements (Principal Tubist for Symphony Silicon Valley and Director of Bands at Ohlone College) purchased two Kanstul G Euphoniums from the SF Renegades and had them converted to one G Tuba

SPOTLIGHT: JULIAN BANEZ
The show this year at SF Renegades is going to rock.
Last year, I had to learn the entire tenor book and drill in a month after being cut to tenors from snare. I had never played tenors before but I was fortunate for being cut because I found out that I loved playing tenors. It’s so much more fun when you’re learning at the same pace as everyone else. Not having to cram everything in last minute really makes the stress levels go down.
I learned last year to take advantage of the time in between camps to make sure you know everything you’re responsible for, backwards and forwards. It’s so cool to have the opportunity to have a full drumline this early in the season. It means we’ll get even more time to get everything solid by DCI West.
If you’re reading this and play a horn, come out! We need horn players to fill the spots that are missing in this corps. Come be a part of the SF Renegades and help us march a full corps before June!

Hi Members of the Renegades,
I wanted to thank all of you for showing my young boy scouts what a horn line can sound like. Being from the city they have never seen a Drum & Bugle Corps before. I have been wanting to show them a corps live for some time, DVDs of DCI don’t really show it. What you did playing for them was great, something must have rubbed off on them. I know the best Corps didn’t place first. The “judges” must have scored heavy on “cute points” But you should feel good about getting young kids excited about Drum Corps. Good Luck to you and thanks again!
Sincerely,
John Miyoko
Troop12 Corps
