Feeling horny?

Get all the brass you can handle at the West Coast Showdown, a drum-and-bugle-corps battle for the coveted Western Cup. Our newly formed River City Regiment will compete, along with two-time state champions the San Francisco Renegades and five other California teams. Hear the rousing music! See the precision formations! Witness the colorful stunts of the color guards! It’s like the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade without the commercials, or a rally for the troops without any killing afterward! The show starts at 7 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets are $12 for adults and $5 for children 12 and under. Southern California’s Pacific Crest team will lead an “Introduction to Drum Corps” workshop and a rehearsal demonstration for students, parents and teachers. Admission to the 4 p.m. workshop is free to all ticket holders. The West Coast Showdown is located at Del Oro High School, 3301 Taylor Road in Loomis. Call (916) 966-3557 for more information.
