First Church Service of SCCB Ministries

Pastor Gailey has scheduled the first praise and worship service for November 20th at 6:00PM. This should give everyone enough time to get there and settle in. We are still working on where the service will be held. We are talking to a couple places that should be able to host us.

We may have a cake or something afterward to celebrate the new endeavor. We will keep you updated. If you would like to attend email us at steelcityclownbrigade@yahoo.com and we will be sure to send you an invite with full details.

This Saturday we have a show at the Ranking Christian Center. I will let you know how it goes. We might even have some pictures.

Advancement Pyramid

 We have lost our Advancement Pyramid from the Cult that will not be Named. So for our first advancement ceremony in exile we assembled a pyramid using books at our new home at Second Baptist. 

    We had two folks advance to Standard Clown and three up to Junior Clown. It was a bit bitter sweet but we had an excuse for some bag pipe music.

Getting Ready

Today we spent some time getting ready for the Revival in Frick Park in Homestead. Pictured is Sergeant Kisielnicki sorting some costume items.

In the foreground is the sound system which is ready to go. Sergeants Prioleau and Thurman also helped put together the equipment.

In addition to the sound system we took four trunks of costumes and props.

On other fronts we have updated the calendar. We are also looking to revisit our newsletter and vid cast. We know that it has been a while since we have done either. Still, it has been a hectic summer for us all.

Thank for tuning in and God Bless.

Revival in the Park

The Brigade will be performing at the Revival in Frick Park on the 5th and 7th from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM. The event will run three days the 5 through the seventh. There will food and fun and of course for everyone.

The Brigade will be performing a couple new routine and an old stand by or two. On the 5th we will be concentrating on John 3:16.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16

On Friday we will be looking at the story of Noah with Balloon Animals. The story of Noah can be found in the book of Genesis.

We hope that if you are in the Homestead area and have the opportunity that you will drop by.

The Revival in the Park also will be the first event we use out new Sound System at. Our Senior Sergeant Kisielnicki co-ordinated the donation of the sound system from several sources. We now have two 14 inch speakers, a sound bard and amp as well as six microphones. This is a real blessing and answer to prayer. It is also an opportunity to take something off our wish list.

Thank you for tuning and God Bless.

Rain Warning

Because of the rain today we will be meeting at the Barnes and Nobles in the Water Front. WE will be meeting at the regular time just another location. See everyone there.

New Practice Schedule

Show at the Propel School

Friday June 12 we had a very nice little show at the Propel School. Thr Propel School is a Charter School that is Physically next to The Salvation Army in Homestead. It is also a school that several o the Children from the Corps and Sergeant Proileau attends.

This is Popie and Apprentice Brimage outside the Propel School just before the show. As you can tell the both of them are adorable. And they took a moment for a picture just after we set up.

This was the first time that we ever did anything other than a stage show away from The Corps. We used four hundred and 98 Balloons. That is a crazy amount of Balloons to use in under five hours. It is not something one clown could do. It is also a testament to the skills of these young clowns and the training they have done.

This is a Picture of Alakazi working on a Snake for a young man during the show. I figure that she personally use around one hundred and fifty of the balloons. That mean that we was working at the rate that you would exspect a Jr. Clown from the Circus to work at.

She may not look like she is Happy but she is happy on the inside. It is sort of unfair to take picture of us while we are doing ballon with thrity kids waiting for their balloon. The reality is that we can look happy the majority of the time. And at that split second when the picture is take you have a frustrated look because of a balloon you are working on. Well nothing is perfect. Still we had fun at the show.
