TNT (Thursday Night Thing)
What is "Renegades TNT"?
Renegades TNT (Thursday Night Thing) is a casual Renegades group which compliments the competitive corps. The group enables those who want to play "Loud Music" in a more relaxed setting outside the the competitive arena. Perfect to keep chops up and for those unable march in the competitive corps for whatever reason (jobs, family, injuries, time...). Renegades TNT is similar to an east coast "Alumni Corps" -- have fun, play a lot music, socialize and, of course, support our competitive corps.

What's the rehearsal schedule? Every Thursday night from 7pm to 9pm, beginning January 7, 2010.
Renegades TNT Yes! We will be perform throughout the year, including the Loud Music Symposium, parades, the Renegades home show and lots more. Do I have to be an alumni of the Renegades?NO! Anyone over 16 can participate in Renegades TNT. Can I be in Renegades TNT and the Renegades competitive corps?Of course! The two groups are meant to compliment each other, not compete. And the opposite is true. No problem being in Renegades TNT, but not the competitive corps. What's the uniform going to be?Something black. We'll post exact uniform specifications before each performance. Each participant will be responsible for providing their own uniform. What kind of instrumentation will be used?All music (initially) will be written for bugles in the key of G. |
What about horns? Each member should try to provide their own brass instrument in the key of G. Additionally, we will have a limited number of horns available at each weekly rehearsal to borrow for the evening. Long-term usage will be figured out on a case-by-case bases. What music will we play?Renegades have a vast library of great drum corps music to read each week at TNT. Over time, we'll find our favorites and get them ready for performance. Will there be try-outs?No. The focus is fun. However, we do expect members to perform up to the high level of excellence, excitement and emotion that has always been a trademark of the Renegades. How big will the group be?As many or as few that want to participate. There is no set size. There will also be opportunities for smaller groups (e.g., sextets, small ensembles) to rehearse and perform under the Renegades TNT name. What's the length of the season?The current plan is to keep the group going through the winter and spring. Who will run Renegades TNT?To get us off the ground Greg Gilman will act as director. We expect lots of people to help with all aspects of Renegades TNT. Individuals should contact Greg if interested. The great thing about Renegades TNT, we can be as flexible as we want! Again the idea is... have fun!! |
How do I start? Show up to rehearsal next Thursday or send e-mail to info@Renegades.org for additional information.
