HASMB Tour Information for ALL PERCUSSIONISTS

HASMB DRUMLINE TOUR/EQUIPMENT INFO

As we near tour here is some information regarding packing and equipment/

instruments:

Battery (Snares/Tenors/Basses) - drums & carriers will be on loan in California. We

recommend bringing your own stick bags.

Toere - need to consolidate carrier by removing the toere from the carrier and folding

the bars towards the carrier to be as flat as possible. The carrier will be (1 of) your

carry on. Use an old pillow case as a cover/bag for the carrier to keep all of the parts

together. Pack the actual toere inside of your suitcase to check in. Use another old

pillow case to wrap the toere before putting it in your suitcase.

Cymbals need to be in a cymbal bag and checked in as a second piece of luggage (you

will be reimbursed for this second piece).

Snares/Tenors/Toere/Basses - please bring a relatively fresh pair of sticks on tour. You

will not have time or the opportunity to get new sticks on tour so don’t plan on doing

so. Also-the parade is ling and you need the pair to last the whole performance. We

also recommend bringing a spare pair for practice and to just have spare pair incase

something happens (like a break on the parade route).

If you would like to purchase sticks we will have the Vic Firth John Mapes Snare and

Tenor sticks avail at the next Oahu rehearsal for $12. For outer island members please

email hasmbdrums@gmail.com by Dec 17 and we will bring you a pair that you can pay

for when we get on tour.

Sticks need to be taped white before tour. Check this video on how to do so

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ag4_U-HOcQQ

Sticks should be taped half-overlap to the fulcrum (to the/but not covering the flag on

Vic Firth sticks and same with the System Blue logo on ProMark sticks)

Pack your main sticks (and stick bags if you are bringing it) in your carry on. You don’t

want to have your main sticks in your luggage incase luggage is lost in transit. It is ok

to put your spare pair in your luggage.

Everyone needs to bring a drum key and extra stick tape incase a re-tape is needed.

When we get on tour we expect everyone to e responsible for their own equipment. No

one should be carrying or playing anyone else‘s drum. We also expect everyone to help

load/unload the equipment truck and also keeping the designated drum equipment

room neat and organized. Also we expect cases to be neatly organized during

rehearsals and performances.

Also while on tour, especially during free time-please be aware of your hands (and

feet). You need your hands to play in practices and performances.

HAVE FUN AND ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE!

May Oahu HASMB Update - Reminder May 6

To: All Oahu HASMB Members

Re: Practice..May 6...Castle HS Stadium

From: John Riggle

Aloha Oahu HASMB members,

Due to Mother's Day falling on our regular 2nd Sunday spot (May 13), we decided it would be best for all concerned to avoid an uncomfortable conflict and move May practice up one week.  Mahalo for understanding.

Please be on time...and fully prepared with all music memorized. Also recommend that you park on the far side in back of the field.

Please wear shoes...bring snacks, water...and whatever clothing the weather is projecting. It rains often on the Windward side.

Let's continue to get stronger each time!

Mahalo!

IMPORTANT TOUR UPDATE ANNOUNCEMENT!

If you have not sent in your tour application and pledge yet - please be sure to do so prior to February 20th to reserve your spot - Don’t let this opportunity of a life-time pass you buy.

Due to continuing negotiations with several airlines, we are still not ready to announce a tour price yet.  We are working diligently to secure the best average of all air fares available for the group.  Thus, we need to postpone the announcement of the tour prices to February 21, 2018 - one day after all tour pledges are due. By doing this, we also will have a better idea of the volume and size of our group.

The first tour payment or cancellation notice has also been pushed back to March 15, 2018 (not February 15).   You still have plenty of time in between to consider if you want to go forward once the tour price and package details has been announced.

Meanwhile music and instructions are posted on the website.  Weekend HASMB rehearsals on each island are about to commence.   Please check the website for details!
