Thanks Paul

I arrived back in Brisbane yesterday, and was pleased to see the Brisbane winter is still on average better than the Europe summer! Reminds me of why I live here....

I was impressed with everything tonight, in 6 weeks you have learnt quite a few new rhythms and breaks, and I just like to acknowledge Paul for taking the lead during this time.

Well done mate!

Reds Grand Final Saturday 9th July

UPDATE: No drummers required for the Grand Final

Hello All.

After a fantastic win over the Blues on Saturday, it's game on this Saturday 9th July for the Reds at Suncorp stadium. They have a chance to create Reds history and win the Super 15 grand final against Dan Carter and his fellow Crusaders.

They have requested at least 3 drummers to be present for the Grand Final, with a potential for 3 more so 6 drummers in total! This will hopefully be confirmed today, Tuesday 5th July, but if you are interested, please send Remko or myself an email asap.

The idea is similar to last Saturday. We won't have to play before the game but simply march with our suurdos from the Southern End to the Northern end of the stadium where we will be sitting amongst a cheering squad. They have assured us that there will be a proper cheering squad this time around, plus there has been a request for more dancers in lycra...

Expect to arrive at Suncorp stadium around 4pm. Game kick off is 7:30 pm, game finishes at 9:30 pm. General arrangements apply, i.e. no parking etc. etc. Reds tops will be arranged on the day.

So if you're interested to play this Saturday, please let Remko or myself know. We'll discuss all practicalities this Thursday.

Cheers.

Elwin
