Branson\u2019s White House Theatre Welcomes Director Jerry Hoover and 300 Piece Award Winning Band<\/p>\n
Tuesday, August 12, 2008 \u2013 Branson, Missouri \u2013<\/p>\n
Branson\u2019s White House Theatre is opening it\u2019s doors, WIDE, to welcome 300 members of Missouri State University\u2019 Award Winning Pride Marching Band, who will be attending The Magnificent Seven Variety Show on August 20th as part of the Band\u2019s \u201c2008 Boot Camp\u201d program.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is so exciting for us,\u201d said Tamra Holden, a headliner and producer for the Magnificent Seven Variety Show. \u201cIt is an honor and a privilege that our show has been chosen for such an unprecedented event, and I am sure there will be an amazing party atmosphere that evening!\u201d<\/p>\n
Says Band Director Jerry Hoover, \u201cThe kids are really going to enjoy the musical variety. This show is fast paced with lots of energy and really talented performers, and there is music for all ages, both young and old. Even the music that is outside of one\u2019s own time frame still draws you in, and these kids are all about music.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Pride Marching Band, led by 23 year veteran Director Hoover, is rated one of the finest marching bands in the country, and was recently invited to participate in the Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California. Known nationwide for its sound, explosive drum line and crack-precision flag line, the band has also been featured in events such as the Macy\u2019s Thanksgiving Day Parade, the Tournament of Roses Parade, and the Orange Bowl Parade. They have also appeared in the Super Dome for the New Orleans Saints, in the TransWorld Dome for the St. Louis Rams, at Arrowhead Stadium for the Kansas City Chiefs, at Mile High Stadium for the Denver Broncos, and, in 2005, had the privilege of being the honor band in the London New Year\u2019s Day Parade.<\/p>\n
\u201cBands have to apply for the Tournament of Roses Parade two years in advance and most never make it,\u201d said Hoover. \u201cWhen they first started calling to invite us to be the Honor band, I ignored them. I didn\u2019t think it was real. I am not sure that has ever been done before. It turns out the current President of the Tournament of Roses Parade started working to get us as the Honor band six years before he was ever even elected President!\u201d<\/p>\n
Joe Tinoco, also a headliner and producer for the Magnificent Seven Variety Show, noted that \u201cour show moves pretty fast, but not as fast as their drum line! Seriously, though, we perform a lot of music that these kids are going to recognize, and we are just going to have a really great time having them here with us.\u201d<\/p>\n
Band Camp for this year\u2019s Pride Marching Band runs from August 15th through August 24th, with their first half time performance set for September 4th. They are also scheduled to appear as an Exhibition Band at the Greater St. Louis Marching Band Festival in October, and will present a \u201cMusical Salute to Our Veterans\u201d this November.<\/p>\n
