In the past few weeks the entire band has been working very hard to really pull the show together. Whether it has been working on playing together, cleaning drill, building up endurance, timing issues, or even performing, we have definitely made improvements. But this coming week is the most important yet, and we will definitely have to work harder. This Saturday is our home show – The Fall Classic, which I have to say, is very exciting. With about 20 Marching Bands including UMass Minuteman Marching Band it’s going to be a day full of great music and marching. This week we will be working hard on the show and it’s exciting.
Our Trumbull Fall Classic is one of the best moments of the season, because of course; it is on our own turf. There is a lot more time to spend enjoying our decorated band room, watching other bands, and most importantly, pigging out on kettle corn. One of the best parts about our home show is that we get to perform last. For some reason, there is just more excitement added in to being the last performance of the night, and you can definitely leave the crowd with a good note. If you would like to see the our show and have a lot of fun, you should come to our Fall Classic at Trumbull High Saturday, October 3rd! Tickets are available at the door for $10 for adults and $5 for kids and seniors. For more information about our Fall Classic, please visit our website at www.thegembcorp.com. Hope to see you there!

Can’t Wait, heard so much about this show from every one. And UMASS will be there? Really the UMASS from Amherst is huge, where you gonna put that band? I can’t wait to see the show, they were prediting rain but I have been watching the maps and the rain better hold off as right now the weather doesn’t look so bad at all on the weather maps, but do you think we should really trust those maps? Heck No, the show should be awesome! like I sais before – CANT WAIT!!!!

Robyn,
Yes, it was the 385 member UMass band that, like most of the other bands, did not get to perform.
And it was awesome to see all 385 of them bed down in the Trumbull High School gym. It was like an army setting up camp.
UMass practiced at THS this morning (Sunday). They were awesome.
If you want to see our show and not travel far, please come to THS’s football game this Friday. Like UMass, they are awesome!
