Minnesota Brass marked its first full day in Rochester with a dawn to dusk rehearsal Friday at Badgerow Park North, about a half hour’s drive from the corps’ temporary home at the DoubleTree. “Supernova” is shining brighter than ever after all of the hard work and ready for its debut at the DCA World Championships. Members and staff were rewarded with an evening off. Throughout, they tweeted their thoughts using the hashtag #mbi14. Here’s a roundup of some of the things they posted:
