Preston Scout House Alumni

To members of the drum corps community

Preston Scout House is turning 75 in 2013 and you’re all invited to help celebrate. Refresh your interest in the activity by marching again, managing, teaching, helping with support services or just enjoying performances

There will be some memorable 2013 performances: the Spring Opening show in Preston Memorial Auditorium on Sunday, April 28; the annual Canada Day parade in Preston on July 1; the 4th annual Scout House Invitational Tattoo in Waterloo on Saturday, August 10 featuring Hawthorne Caballeros Alumni, Mighty St. Joe’s Alumni, Les Diplomates du Quebec and other well known groups. Scout House will be completing the season with a performance in the Alumni spectacular at the DCA Championship weekend in Annapolis Maryland.

Scout House has revived its commitment to the young people of the community by establishing the Preston Scout House Cadets, for boys and girls from ages 13 to 18. The Cadets drum line made its debut public performance at Kitchener’s Centre in the Square theatre on January 19, during a family concert that included the Scout House Alumni drum line performing on stage. There are probably young people in your family who would enjoy the activity as much as we all did.

You may want to do more than just socialize and enjoy performances from the curb or stadium seats during this special year. We invite all men and women with guard, percussion, brass and support group marching music experience to become members of Scout House Alumni Band and bring back to life the great experiences that we all love to reminisce about now.

You probably already know some Band members. Scout House Alumni Band now includes more than 100 men and women from 25 communities across Ontario and the U.S who participate in about 25 stage concerts, parades and field shows during a typical year.

The parade’s not over yet. We can create a whole new set of memories, in case we ever grow old!

Ensemble music rehearsals are held Sunday afternoons at the Preston Knights of Columbus building, 333 Speedsville Road, until mid-May, when outdoor field show practices at the Cambridge Centre Mall begin and continue each Thursday evening until late August. The off-season schedule includes colour guard practice Tuesday evenings, and optional extra music instruction and practice Wednesday evenings.

Get your marching shoes out of the closet: we’ve got a spot for you in the line.
