If you missed the Westbrook muster you can catch the corps full performance on YouTube thanks to Gus Cuccia!

We’re so touched all of the alumni and friends who joined us on stand to play this weekend. We’re also so proud of our members who have been working extra hard to bring this tribute to life. Mr H would be proud of every one of his kids and grateful for every friend who joined us on Saturday.

“Keep practicing!”

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Col John Chester would like to invite alumni and friends of Mr. Art Hutchinson and the corps to perform on stand with us at the Westbrook Muster on August 22nd. We'll be performing as a tribute to Mr. H and we know he'd love to see all of his kids and friends on stand with the corps.

This performance is open to everyone who would like to join. If Art was your friend, if you were in the corps or were an instructor, or maybe your kids marched with Col John but you didn't - if Art touched your life somehow you're welcome to join us in this tribute.

Join us for as much or as little of the music as you'd like. Details can be found along with the music, audio files and videos in the Google Drive folder here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1R8yFO2l5RTpigFdL6dfB2t--tTiP4aWq?usp=sharing

We have one last rehearsal before the muster if you'd like to attend! We'll be at Hanmer Elementary School on Wednesday night. Rehearsal begins at 6:30 if you'd like to practice a bit with the corps.
