The Kilties will hold their annual Orientation/Evaluation/Membership Day on Sunday December 6, 2009 from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM at Gilmore Middle School in Racine, Wisconsin.

This special day will consist of full corps and section orientations, skill and talent evaluations, and rehearsals. A meal will be provided by the corps.

The 2010 edition of The Kilties will be dedicating this coming season to honor and celebrate the founding of the corps’ roots 75 years ago.

The Kilties winter and spring rehearsal camp schedule is simply one full weekend (Saturday and Sunday) each month through and including April, with a separate percussion camp in January to set the line.

All of the corps’ camps are guided with strict time management to accomplish the goals placed to the membership and the organization as a whole. Personal "at home" practice time is of great importance and value with the corps utilizing "state of the art" internet tools for the members use to achieve excellence.

In May, rehearsals are expanded as the corps continues learning the visual aspects of the 2010 production.

During the performance season (June through Labor Day) the corps performs select weekends with one full weekend off each month. Complete schedule by dates through Labor Day of 2010 will be presented to the membership at this upcoming December 6th event.
