-Look Hurricanes
May 1, 2012 - This past rehearsal weekend, it was announced to the members that the Hurricanes are making a major change to our traditional uniform. The Corps will be moving to Shakos as the headwear choice in 2012.
The choice of Shakos was met with immense support from both the Board of Directors and Members alike. The traditional Cop Hat, a defining and iconic piece of the Hurricanes' uniform, will still be worn by the Drum Majors and Honor Guard. The Hurricanes have mounted a concerted effort to update the Corps' image in 2012, starting with a fresh new logo and culminating with this choice in overall look. The management and educational staff feel this brings the Corps' field presence to a new level, providing a taller, sleeker unit and enhancing the stage for our outstanding Colorguard.

Hurricanes' First Outside Drill Rehearsal Sets the Pace for 2012
April
15, 2012 - The Hurricanes spent two days on the practice field learning the opening of the show, making this the earliest in a number of years the Corps has moved outside. The Corps learned the entire introdu
ction and most of the first movement of the 2012 production.
The two days of intense rehearsal concluded with a couple of run-throughs moving and playing. We were even more excited when community members started gathering at our rehearsal facility, drawn by that familiar sound of brass and drums soaring again through the Naugatuck Valley. The Hurricanes are back in town, and are set on a furious pace to put together another top drum corps show for our fans and audience members.
The Hurricanes' amazing Colorguard re-joins the Corps next rehearsal, as the Full Corps will be at the Seymour Recreation Center in Seymour, CT on Saturday, April 28 and Sunday, April 29. We have an immediate Bass Drum hole to fill, as well as a few Front Ensemble and Brass players to completely fill the Corps in 2012. Contact us at info@cthurricanes.org for more information.
