How I Joined the Renegades – Rich Skare

Rich Skare played Mellophone and Contrabass in the Renegades for ten years. Here is his story of how he came to join the corps:

Loud and Good!

Let’s Get LOUD!

Not only will we continue to learn drill, drill, drill, but we will also be performing a standstill of the entire show at the infamous Loud Music Symposium this weekend!

All day Saturday as well as Sunday morning, the corps will be rehearsing on beautiful Treasure Island where the fresh ocean air and sweeping views of San Fran and the entire bay area (shout out to my East Bay peeps) are always an inspiration.  Then it’s off to Cubberley Community Center in Palo Alto for LMS 10 where we plan to put on an amazing show for friends, family and music lovers alike.

This year’s lineup includes:

Organamatronic

Silicon Valley Chamber Brass

Singer/songwriter and all around amazing entertainer, Justin Farren (my personal fav)

Lyin’ I’s, featuring our very own Rich Duarte

An exhibition by the always incredible Crunchy Frog

And of course, a standstill performance of the entire 2010 Renegade show

We have a killer MC, some amazing silent auction items, concessions and an all around fun and exciting show.  Come out and support Renegades this Sunday, you won’t regret it!
