 Size does matter, and so does the environment in which things are presented. Another thing that matters is the local grass-roots origins of what have now become prominent drum and bugle organizations. Thinking things like that, and then talking about them in December of 2007 at a Racine Kiltie open house, eventually caused former Chicago Royal Air soprano soloist Chris Ferrara to do something about them – establish the Small Drum Corps Association (SDCA). Eventually working with one time McHenry Viscount and Royal Air Alumni Corps member Jeff Williams, and with encouragement from Cavalier Drum and Bugle Corps founder Don Warren, on January 19th of 2008, Ferrara arranged for an initial meeting to be held in a Milwaukee, Wisconsin hotel. |
