Few details yet but I just received a call from Oxfam regarding the Walk against Want march on Sunday 7 October. Looks like we'll be leading it! Please register here.

are we aiming for 15 or 20k??

Remko said...

That depends on who's in front. If we get the shakers in front I'm sure we can do 20K or more!

Brian D. said...

Remko, Can you give us a run down on how we gonna do it ? Sound like a lot of walking to me.

Remko said...

Brian, first you have to complete the course "I have no shame". Then, you've got to do the "surviving in the wild for beginners" course, which involves playing surdo at a stationary position when the temperature is slightly below 20oC. You pass if you can play without commenting on the weather. If you're still alive after that, you can follow Marcel's "advanced bushwalking for sambistas" class. Instructions will be posted by Marcel soon.

Do I need a blood test for performance enhancing drugs in "Marcel's Fitness wokshop for sambistas ? I'm afraid of needles ...and cold weather !....and crocodiles.

Marcel said...

I'm currently working on a deal with either Network Nine or Channel Ten to do a "Sambista's in the Bush" series. Details still need to be worked out but it's going to be pretty tough, Brian. Better get in shape. Don't worry about the drugs, though, most can be administered nasally.

Great! ...Reality TV for sambistas. Three "BOOMs" and you're out.

... And trust a Dutch to think of a reality TV program.

Remko said...

Three "BOOMs" and you're out. I like that! This will be the new rule for paradinhas during performances. During rehearsals we'll stick with 'the corner' though...

Don't forget the kidneys , Remko. The kidneys!

Remko said...

The kidneys are not part of any disciplinary action. They are just part of the general Terms & Conditions:

Clause 16: By playing or rehearsing with the Brisbane Samba School, you agree to donate one of your kidneys at any time on request by the Leader.

Clause 16a: Time is of the essence in all cases!
