The Cincinnati Tradition started it’s 2002 season on Nov. 25th at the Gailey
VFW. The percussion line started reharsals off with a BANG! (Could of been a
WHAM!) Thanks to
Dan Hartwig with his help in running
the rehearsal. Also this rehearsal marked the return of
Mike
Folz and
Eric Landis. Mike and Eric
came back to us from Bluegrass Brass Drum & Bugle Corps.
The brass section will take over the VFW on Dec. 2nd with
Johnnie
Green back at the top.
Mark Mayfield will
fill in when Johnnie is not present. (Thanks Mark!)
