The weekend began on Saturday night as the Slides' four members attended the <a href="http://www.theisb.com/" target="_blank">ISB</a> concert at the Tustin Ranch corps. The concert was both inspiring and entertaining.<br />
On Sunday morning the boys were more than privileged to worship with the members of the <a href="http://www.theisb.com/" target="_blank">ISB</a> in their home corps, Pasadena Tabernacle. After many running jokes about opening for the <a href="http://www.theisb.com/" target="_blank">ISB</a> concert, the Slides finally got their chance to make their public debut, and in front of such a talented group of musicians. After lunch, the Slides played "April Showers" for a small group of <a href="http://www.theisb.com/" target="_blank">ISB</a> members and TAB members. In attendance were; the prinicpal cornetist of the <a href="http://www.theisb.com/" target="_blank">ISB</a>, Kevin Ashman, principal trombonist, Andrew Justice, conductor Dr. Stephen Cobb, and TMS Neil Smith, among many others. The Slides finished to a loud applause from the audience and words of encouragement from members of the <a href="http://www.theisb.com/" target="_blank">ISB</a>.<br />
<br />
In a paraphrase, Kevin Ashman said that the sound was very good, and that the combination of instruments provided a unique sound. Andrew Justice also enjoyed the performance and said that the Slides could really go far because they looked good and people will really enjoy the concept and aesthetic. Hear it for yourself <a href="http://theslidesmusic.blogspot.com/p/videos.html">here</a>.<br />
<br />
The Slides were very humbled by the experience and were very pleased to listen to the <a href="http://www.theisb.com/" target="_blank">ISB</a> one more time in a small concert on Sunday afternoon.<br />
