After severe weather caused the cancellation of our first January rehearsal, the CorpsVets were finally able to have our first rehearsal of 2010. The horn line met at East Coweta Middle School and was presented with music for five minutes of this season's show, 360. We spent a productive day working music. The evening session was capped off with a "light" workout by visual instructor Chris Freeman.

Then it was time for making CorpsVets history as the members were able to take advantage of housing at the rehearsal facility. Sunday dawned grey and cloudy with more than a few moans and thoughts of a quick demise for Chris as payment for Saturday's workout. But after a warm shower and some breakfast it was back to work. The members were treated with visual rehearsal in the morning and in the afternoon more music with Alan Armstrong and Freddy Martin. The brass rehearsal worked fundamentals and the ballad which has goose bumps written all over it. As rehearsal ended, the threatening weather appeared; it is not a CorpsVets rehearsal unless you have to load the truck in the rain!

Our next rehearsal is February 6th and 7th with percussion auditions on the 7th.

Chris Rugila is the latest addition
to the 2010 brass staff
The Atlanta CorpsVets Drum and Bugle Corps is proud to announce the latest addition to their brass staff for the 2010 season. Chris Rugila is currently the Director of Bands at South Mecklenburg High School in Charlotte, NC. Prior to his arrival in Charlotte he was the director of bands at Decatur High School and Middle School in Decatur, MI, from 2006-2009.

Chris graduated Cum Laude from Eastern Michigan University in 2006. He holds a B.A. in Music Education. While at EMU he performed in the Symphonic Band, Wind Symphony, Marching Band, Symphony Orchestra, Collegium Musicum, and the Huron River Brass Quintet.

In addition to his public school experience, Chris spent two years as a performer with the Phantom Regiment Drum and Bugle Corps during the 2003 and 2004 seasons. He began his drum corps instructional career as a brass instructor with the Memphis Sound Drum and Bugle Corps in 2005 and served on the brass staff at Phantom Regiment as a mellophone tech for the 2008 and 2009 seasons.

Remaining active as a performer, Chris played French horn in the Quintessential Winds woodwind quintet and also in various orchestras and bands. In those moments when he is not instructing bands or teaching drum corps, Chris enjoys golfing and spending time with his fiancée, Anna, and his two Shar Peis, Emmot and Toby.

Joining the staff at CorpsVets, he will be reunited with Alan Armstrong, Chip Crotts and Freddy Martin whom he taught with at Memphis Sound and Phantom Regiment respectively. The corps is excited about this new addition and look forward to Chris' first visit to rehearsal in January.

The corps will rehearse next on Saturday, January 9 and Sunday, January 10 at their permanent home for 2010, East Coweta Middle School in Senoia, Georgia. For more information or directions, visit the corps website at www.corpsvets.org.
