BRASS ALONG CENTRAL COAST - Tues 6/28 Tickets ON SALE NOW

June 23, 2011

The Santa Clara Vanguard and co-sponsor Atascadero High School Music Boosters will host the second annual Brass Along the Central Coast drum corps competition on Tuesday evening, June 28, beginning at 7:30PM in the thirty-eight row, 2000-seat, Atascadero High School Memorial Stadium, Atascadero, CA. Tickets will be available throughout San Luis Obispo County by mid-March and will be available online at DCI.org/tickets.

The event will feature a continuation of last year's ongoing see-saw competition between six-time World Champion Vanguard and two-time World Champion Phantom Regiment of Rockford, IL. The event will also feature fellow World Class California neighbor Pacific Crest Drum & Bugle Corps of Diamond Bar, CA, two-time Open Class World Champion Vanguard Cadets and the Velvet Knights from Pasadena, CA.

The former Spanish Colony of Atascadero is nestled in California's beautiful Central Coast, in rolling hills just south of the Santa Lucia Coastal Mountain Range, a few miles from the Pacific Ocean and not far from San Simeon, the famed Hearst Castle (La Cuesta Encantada).

Similar to last year's show, Brass Along the Central Coast will allow drum corps fans to enjoy a pre-show, afternoon rehearsal from the World Class Vanguard, as well as a rehearsal run-through of their 2011 program: The Devil's Staircase.

"As we discovered last year, there isn't a bad seat in the house at the Atascadero Memorial Stadium," according to SCV’s Event Chair Ray Pulver "as 38 rows rise above the field, featuring two sections of fantastic general admission seating for up to 2000."

The Orange General Admission center section ($20) places 750-plus seats between the 40 yard lines starting at row 11 up to row 38, with each individual seating area clearly marked. The Silver General Admission sections ($15) include some lower seating between the 40 yard lines (rows 1-10), as well as seating outside the center Orange section, yet inside the 28 yard line, rising from row 1 to row 38. Ticket prices will raise $5 on the day of the event.

The stadium's first row of starts approximately six feet above the field level and features wheel chair accessible seating in the center of the bleachers

Groups of 10 or more can take advantage of a special rate ($12) in the Silver section by calling 408-727-5532 X18.
