Here we are gearing up for our 4th meeting this year! The corps has put in a ton of work the past 3 rehearsals, and this weekend will be no different. This is the time of year where champions are created by working harder than everyone else. Keeping this momentum going into Sunday, February 12...it will payoff HUGE dividends in the summer! Sunday, February 12th we are back at Sacred Heart University for the horn line and drum line from 9am to 4:30pm and the color guard at Seymour, rehearsing from 10am to 4pm at the Seymour Rec Center. Check-In starts at 8:30am for the horn and drum lines. Color guard should begin checking in at 9:30am. EVERYONE MUST CHECK IN!!! Also, there is a $50 payment on your dues assesment due this rehearsal. Remember, we now take all credit/debit cards at the check-in table to assist you in paying your dues in a timely manner.
We started our first fundraiser of the year on Sunday, January 29. We will be doing a Hershey's Candy Sale (much better stuff than the generic candy from last year!!) with a selection of Hershey's Almond Bars, Twizzlers, Reese's Cups, and Kit Kat bars. Every member will be required to sell at least 1 box of Candy as part of your fundraising requirement. There are 30 king-size bars in a box, and we are selling them at $2 a bar. This means you will turn in $60.00 a box, and YOU MAKE 50% PROFIT!! This means you make $30.00 toward your dues for every box sold. You are more than welcome to sell as many boxes as you think you can sell. These boxes will be handed out at rehearsal on Sunday.
Recruitment is still a hot topic....PLEASE FILL THESE HOLES!!! All Brass Players (or Woodwind..we will teach them), Percussionists, or just anyone who is interested in who we are and what we do...BRING THEM. All it takes is one day, and they will love it. Get your $50 per recruit credit on your dues....bring someone!!
As always, check the Hurricanes Hotline at (203) 200-0889 for any last minute changes or weather concerns. See everyone bright and early on Sunday the 12th, and lets keep this pace of hard work going to make 2012 amazing!
Walk Proud, and Think of Thunder!

This year we plan on expanding the size of our hornline for the competitve field and you can be a help to that end. For every new horn person you bring into the corps you will receive a $50.00 credit against your 2012 dues. The person you bring will have to make the line and must stay for the entire season. Members of the Hornline, Drumline and Color Guard all qualify to participate in this incentive. We kicked off the challenge starting at the January 8th rehearsal. There will be personnel on duty at each rehearsal to take your friend's name and information, as well as acknowledge you for bringing them in.

MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the CT Hurricanes Drum & Bugle Corps is to provide a competitive platform on which youth can build successful, healthy lifestyles through music and performance, and to promote artistic excellence. Emphasis is placed on development of self-esteem, self-motivation and self-reliance. It encourages team work, sportsmanship, civic pride and contributions of one's personal best to a group effort, geared toward individual achievement of common goals. It is an education designed to help members become the best they can be. It can be the education of a lifetime!
PHILOSOPHY
The Connecticut Hurricanes Drum and Bugle Corps, Inc. of Seymour, Connecticut is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization with a mission to promote arts education in a collaborative effort with Public Schools, Boy & Girls Clubs, Valley YMCA, Colleges and Universities. The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Lower Naugatuck Valley, Valley YMCA and Ansonia High School have partnered with the Hurricanes in a Community Outreach summer Music and Marching Program. The Corps provides musical and visual arts education to all members through their participation in performance on wind and percussion instruments, as well as, the use of equipment, props and color to augment musical selections. The Hurricanes’ program places emphasis on a variety of musical styles, which give the membership the opportunity to correlate a sense of rhythm with physical coordination. The activity enables the participants to display their learned musical and choreographic skills in entertainment at competitions, sports offerings, parades, winter guard and other civic affairs. The disciplines of music and choreography are displayed through uniformity of dress, conduct, teamwork, and self control.
Musicality, technique, emotion, phrasing, and the ability to analyze form, and to play and interpret different styles of music are a few areas addressed during preparation for performance. The activity affords opportunity for self realization in an environment favorable to artistic creation and experience.
Through the live audience performance medium the development of each member’s poise and self-control will enhance their future professional growth capabilities. Through this medium it is also hoped that new opportunities for performance to a wider audience will evolve. This wider audience may also increase awareness of the activity and present opportunities for increased membership from this expanded audience.
It is the intent of the Hurricanes to provide the members with life changing experiences, educationally and socially, which help each individual member gain real world life skills, musical training and performance experiences. Through the development of the character traits of dedication, discipline and teamwork, each member of this close knit fraternity learns what is required to be successful on and off the performance field. Participation in the Hurricanes Outreach program instills confidence, quality of character and a strong work ethic that is desirable in the real world workplace.

Coming off another successful competitive season in their 57 year history, the Board of Directors of the Connecticut Hurricanes are pleased to name Bernie Malesky as the President and Doug Oravez as Corps Director for the upcoming 2012 Season. Bernie was the Corps Director of the Hurricanes for 8 years from 2002 to 2010. He will also remain on the Hurricanes Board of Directors.
As part of this change in structure, the Board is also announcing that Doug Oravez has been appointed as Corps Director for 2012. Doug is a very familiar name in the circle of DCA friends having been a member, and instructor with the Hurricanes since 1970. Doug'’s latest roll was as visual caption head for the 2011 Hurricanes.
“These announcements reflect a win-win situation for the Hurricanes organization because we needed to ensure continued stability in the organization and having Bernie and Doug fill both roles will help provide the membership and staff with a familiar face and a depth of knowledge to lead the Hurricanes to continued success”, stated Thomas Gabianelli, Chairman of the Board.
Other announcements will soon be released once Bernie and Doug have had a chance to finalize their team for 2012. To get membership information, as well as additional information and other news on the Hurricanes, please visit the Corps website - www.cthurricanes.org.

The Connecticut Hurricanes All-Age Drum & Bugle Corps was first organized in 1932 in Derby Conn. as the John H. Collins Fife, Drum & Bugle Corps. They performed regionally as a parade unit for twenty three years prior to transforming their focus to field competition in 1955. Coincidently, the Hurricanes name and identity were adopted that same year in the wake of two devastating Hurricanes, Diane and Connie, that ravaged southern New England in August of 55'.
The Hurricanes matured quickly in the competitive arena, and since 1962 when they won their first major title, the Northeastern Circuit Championship, they have garnered every major title in the senior/all-age realm. Consistency, professional excellence and genuine audience appeal have become tenants of the Hurricane tradition, ideals they have held throughout their career. It is these championship traditions that inspire the Hurricanes through each season as they continually strive for perfection. Such dedication to the Hurricanes way has, through the decades, earned them recognition as one of the elites in the marching arts activity.
It is the mission of the Hurricanes to provide a competitive platform on which youth can build successful, healthy lifestyles through music and performance, and to promote artistic excellence. Emphasis is placed on development of self-esteem, self-motivation and self-reliance. It encourages sportsmanship, teamwork, civic pride and contribution of one's personnel best to a group effort, geared towards achievement of common goals. It's an education designed to help members become the best they can be. It can be the education of a lifetime!
Now hailing from Seymour, Connecticut, the Corps celebrated it's 80th year of continuous operation in 2011 as well as their 57th year of field competition. Hundreds of people have passed through the ranks over the span of eight decades and it's fair to estimate that in hindsight, one and all would agree that the Hurricane experience was one of the most exhilarating and rewarding of their life!

Jim Dugan announced that the 2012 program will be titled "Blokes and Birds ". The program with a British theme will have a mixture of familiar formal British music along with songs from the 60's British rock invasion.
Musical selections will be announced as soon as they are finalized as this program promises to entertain the fans and to keep the Hurricanes amongst DCA's finest.
Prospective new members are still highly encouraged to attend our next rehearsal on February 12th. The storm warning flags are now hoisted as the 2012 Connecticut Hurricanes are now preparing for a major hit on the DCA community.
