UTM3rdBass Registered: 12/21/02 Loc: UTM, Martin, Tennessee	I really just want the covers that usually come with the pit instruments. I believe they look better. We have tried the blankets and that is ok for practice but not when we are going to a contest. _________________________ [color:"blue}CHS Front Ensemble (4 Years)[/color"] MCL Drum and Bugle Corps(2Yrs) [color:"red"]DCA I&E Part.(05)2nd place Keyboard[/color] [color:"orange"]UT Martin Drumline 05-Present[/color] [color:"blue"]West Athens Percussion (06-07)Marimba[/color] Bruceton Central High Percussion Tech 07-Present

Big_John Registered: 02/19/03 Loc: Kentucky	Why would you take a cover to contest? Leave those in the truck. _________________________ Big John Bullitt Central HS '99-03: Pit, Bass, Snare/SL Univ. of Kentucky '03-04: Cymbals, Bass Nine Southwind '04: Lead Vibes Since 2005: I've been pursuing a career as a conductor and an operatic baritone.

UTM3rdBass Registered: 12/21/02 Loc: UTM, Martin, Tennessee	We will leave them in the truck but we want them for contests. We want for everything to look the same. Please help me out I do not want blankets I want actual covers. I have found two already but I need more where I can choose from. _________________________ [color:"blue}CHS Front Ensemble (4 Years)[/color"] MCL Drum and Bugle Corps(2Yrs) [color:"red"]DCA I&E Part.(05)2nd place Keyboard[/color] [color:"orange"]UT Martin Drumline 05-Present[/color] [color:"blue"]West Athens Percussion (06-07)Marimba[/color] Bruceton Central High Percussion Tech 07-Present

Divalish Registered: 04/16/03 Loc: Pittsburgh, PA	I still don't understand. Are you going to be pushing out the instruments onto the FIELD with the covers on? Like the Cavies do for their victory concerts? _________________________ ~patty Crossmen '02-'03 & a whole bunch of WGI

UTM3rdBass Registered: 12/21/02 Loc: UTM, Martin, Tennessee	No, we are not going to be pushing our instruments with the covers on. We have tried blankets and they have not worked for the look we want to have. We want the instruments to look professional with the covers that usually come with the instrument upon purchase. I know blankets can be cheaper but I am just trying to find something else that will be similar to some of the covers we have now. I am needing these types of covers. Two vibe covers Two xylophone covers Chimes Cover I have found a chime cover and a possible xylophone cover but I am still looking for a better deal or a better price. _________________________ [color:"blue}CHS Front Ensemble (4 Years)[/color"] MCL Drum and Bugle Corps(2Yrs) [color:"red"]DCA I&E Part.(05)2nd place Keyboard[/color] [color:"orange"]UT Martin Drumline 05-Present[/color] [color:"blue"]West Athens Percussion (06-07)Marimba[/color] Bruceton Central High Percussion Tech 07-Present

Divalish Registered: 04/16/03 Loc: Pittsburgh, PA	Nice idea...in theory. However, my personal opinion is that no matter how professional the covers look, it's not going to look very professional when you have to practically lay on the instruments so that the wind doesn't blow the covers away. And yes, the "real" Yamaha keyboard covers blow away VERY easily. We tried doing that for indoor while in the parking lots, and the covers ended up flying away anyway. _________________________ ~patty Crossmen '02-'03 & a whole bunch of WGI

UTM3rdBass Registered: 12/21/02 Loc: UTM, Martin, Tennessee	The Adam covers that we have for our marimba have worked really well and I was wondering if anyone knows where I could find them? _________________________ [color:"blue}CHS Front Ensemble (4 Years)[/color"] MCL Drum and Bugle Corps(2Yrs) [color:"red"]DCA I&E Part.(05)2nd place Keyboard[/color] [color:"orange"]UT Martin Drumline 05-Present[/color] [color:"blue"]West Athens Percussion (06-07)Marimba[/color] Bruceton Central High Percussion Tech 07-Present

drumcorpbc Registered: 05/12/03 Loc: St. Louis, MO	What looks unprofessional about moving blankets? If you get the same ones for your entire group, they'll look the same. Most of the corps use the packing blankets and I don't think they look unprofessional. Besides, isn't it about how well your pit plays as opposed to how they look? _________________________ Bill Castillo OAS AAS LLS!!!
