WANTED: BLOWERS AND BANGERS
Did you know that North Texas has its own drum and bugle
corps? Formed in the summer of 2004 by gay executive direc-
tor Chris Green, the Frontier Drum & Bugle Corps holds audi-
tions at its open house on Saturday.
Green says about a third of the membership is gay and is
open to musicians of all skill levels. Last year, about 55 mem-
bers marched in the Drum Corps Associates Championships,
which were held Sept. 2-4 in Scranton, Pa. Frontier placed
16th in the "open class" competition. For the past two years,
Frontier has performed at the Turtle Creek Chorale's
Christmas Concert series. This year, Green hopes to
boost membership to 90 members.
Green says most of last year's horn line
hadn't touched their instruments in
five, sometimes 20 years. The group
welcomes beginning woodwind play-
ers and those learning brass instruments
for the first time.
"Talent isn't the basis for member-
ship. Determination, hard work and a
passion for music and colorguard is," i
Green says.

band geek or flag girl, dust off those chops and join the fun."
RICKY'S NEW 'LIFE'
Though you wouldn't know it to see his press,
Ricky Martin is one of the most successful
crossover artists of the last decade. Mostly rel-
egated to pop-fad status by critics, Martin has con-
sistently scored where his fans are concerned. The
f sexually ambiguous singer recently ditched the pretty-
boy image for a buffer, scruffier iook and a new sound
to match.
On his latest, "Life," the former child star delves into
everything from dancehall to techno, demonstrating a surpris-
ing range. Martin's continued popularity, particularly with
Spanish-speaking audiences, has earned him sellouts in other
Texas venues. Expect nothing but the best from this dynamic, crowd-
pleaser as he blows through North Texas on Thursday.

OOPS, HE DID IT AGAIN
The holiday season has passed, but like Christmas in
January, celebrity babydaddy Kevin Federline is the gift that
keeps on giving.
Still working on his yet-to-be-completed debut album, the
dancer-rapper-amateur sperm-donor recently had a second single
from his oeuvre leaked onto the Internet. Titled "Popo Zao,"
apparently Portuguese for "badonkadonk," the track is almost
so bad that it's good — but not quite. Producer Disco D makes I
a decent effort with his Neptunes-meets-Brazilian-Baile-Funk
groove, but K-Fed's complete lack of either style or substance I
steal the show. Track this no-hit wonder down only for your
amusement, and pray that the poor girl paying for this absurd
vanity project has a solid pre-nup.
