Carrie Fox, 23, of Nashville, has been appointed as the new Assistant Drum Major of Music City Legend Drum and Bugle Corps. She is a 2001 graduate of McGavock High School and a 2005 alumna of O’More College of Design with a degree in Visual Communications. A graphic artist, she is married to Stephen, her husband of 2 years.

She succeeds Deonté Warren, 17, also of Nashville, who will graduate from McGavock in May and is leaving the corps to devote more time to school commitments and to prepare for college. The announcement was made by MCL Program Coordinator Jim Reed.

The six men who will be inducted into the World Drum Corps Hall of Fame on Labour Day weekend have made an impact on the activity in key areas right across the country, from Rhode Island on the Atlantic to the Wisconsin heartland and the Pacific coast in Washington.

Their involvement in drum and bugle corps activity stretches from the early 1950s to the current day.

Colin Campbell, Dominic J. Fulginiti, Jerry Kelsey, Vincent Monacelli, Ken Norman and Richard Price will be inducted as regular members of the World Drum Corps Hall of Fame. Tom Peashey is the President’s Award winner for his long-term contributions. He will be inducted during the same ceremony.

The Reading Buccaneers Drum & Bugle Corps today announced the concert lineup for the Second Annual “Spring Preview,” an indoor drum and bugle corps concert to be held on Saturday May 13, 2006 at Twin Valley High School, Elverson, Pennsylvania. The concert is organized and run in conjunction with the Twin Valley Music Boosters, and proceeds from the concert will benefit both organizations.

“Our inaugural “Spring Preview” last year was such a success, and we learned so much from running it, that we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to have it again this year,” said event organizer and Buccaneers Business Manager Jerry Ware. “Over the years, we have built a wonderful relationship with the Twin Valley School District, which so generously opens its high school to the Buccaneers for winter rehearsal camps. This is our way of saying ‘thank-you’ to Fine Arts Department Chair Dan Long and the entire Twin Valley community.” As a new feature this year, Pennsylvania music educators may receive up to three hours of Act 48 credit for attending the rehearsal sessions during the afternoon.

A debt of $202,000 owed to the city by the Hamilton Firefighters Drum Corps won't be forgiven, but the band may get three months to try to solve its financial problems.

Grappling with declining parade bookings, increased costs and loss of bingo revenues, the 44-year-old band faces the loss of its Dartnall Road banquet and practice hall because of financial problems.

Yesterday, the city's corporate services committee turned down a request to forgive tax arrears and an interest-free loan provided by the city to build the hall eight years ago.
