The New Reilly Raiders All Age Non-Competing Corps - Update

Recommended Posts

Reilly has come to the conclusion that no corps these days is truly an Alumni corps, so we've droped that description. To that end, we are recruiting for members of all ages and talents to join The New Reilly Raiders. We have ramped up our administration by adding Jimmy Russo as our Co-program Coordinator, and brought in Curt Hawkins as brass caption head.In addition, Karen Antolik has taken over the color guard. We had out first rehearsal with Curt last Sunday, and it was amazing to see how the horn line responded to him. The show for next year will have a "back to the future" feel. We opened up the file cabinet and pulled some old charts, but we will have one or two new tunes, as well. We expect to have an exciting season in 2016.

While I'm at it, let me announce that we will host the Reilly Raiders Music Festival on April 23, 2016 at Burlington High School, Burlington, NJ. The show will feature Jimmy Jordan's JTO Big Band, with several players from the ranks of drum corps. There will be four or five corps to entertain you as well, but I'll list those as we get closer to Aptil 23rd. Mark your calendars now.

Well now we have "Alumni" dropped at two ends of the Keystone State (T-birds and Reilly). Now if Hanover could totally scrub the "A" word from their website and banner we might have a trifecta.

Good move for the future Reilly....

Good Luck Reilly!!!

I got to march with you in the Savannah, GA St Patrick's Day Parade. You ALL were so good to me and my wife. Truly a High Lite of my Drum Corps life.

So I Recommend, if any of you out there. Give them a try. A good time with good people.
