 Champions from different areas and different eras will compete on Independence Day in the Vince Bruni Preview of Champions drum and bugle corps contest in Rochester. The contest, named in honor of the late founder of the Empire Statesmen, will feature the Statesmen, Syracuse Brigadiers, Kingston Grenadiers, Rochester Crusaders and White Sabers in competition and St. Joe’s Alumni and Empire Cadets in exhibition.
The contest, sponsored by the Statesmen, will take place in Growney Stadium at St. John Fisher College, starting at 7 pm, with gates open at 6 pm. Last year’s show was a complete sellout, with a long lineup at the ticket box office right up until starting time. For ticket information, contact the Empire Statesmen office by telephone at (585) 266-2232, e-mail at

 As I sit here in a school cafeteria in Stanford, Illinois I find myself reflecting on the events of the last 24 hours, and dealing with a flurry of emotions. Although I am still a little overwhelmed, I am truly thankful that everyone in the GLASSMEN Family is safe and okay.
Yesterday morning our volunteer bus was involved in an accident injuring the driver, and requiring three other adult volunteers to be taken to the hospital. Thankfully all three are well, have been released from the hospital, and are back with the corps. Although our driver sustained serious injuries to his ribs and knee, he too has been released and is heading home for the remainder of the tour. Our thoughts and prayers are certainly with him as he heals and works to get himself back to normal.

As a professional drummer and educator; did/do you have a day job and how does this affect you?
I work a regular job as a builder. As the activity has been a hobby since I was 8 years old, it has always been a part of my life. My wife and I are both involved so it really doesn't affect us as we don't know any other way.

Wherever they go, they're watched.
They're critiqued on the way they hold their instruments, their footwork, their poise. If they march too fast or too slow, someone notices. And if they lose their focus -- even for an instant -- someone is sure to tell them.
