The Hawthorne Caballeros Alumni will host an Open House on Sunday, January 28th, 2018at American Legion Post 199, 1 Legion Place, Hawthorne, NJ 07506. Please join us from 12:30 pm until 5:00 pm. We field a full marching corps including percussion, brass and color guard and we have openings in all sections! Minimum age is 21 Open to everyone interested in marching in an alumni corps - prior membership in the Caballeros is not required! The Open House is a perfect time to visit with friends, check out the world famous Post 199 Trophy Room, and learn more about the alumni. We are looking for members in all sections and we will have a lot of friendly members on hand to answer your questions. Still on the fence? If you marched decades ago, a year ago or just in the last few months, we would love to have you join us at the Open House – no equipment necessary, but if you have it, bring it! We have flags, rifles, horns, drums – and more! If you need help with borrowing equipment, please send Steve Raclowski an email - str@embarqmail.com. If you have any questions, please email Steve. We hope to see you there!

Received this email from John's daughter. There must be some of you out there who's lives John touched during your drum corps years. He needs your support now. Please SHARE with drummers, drum corps, and others who know and love John S. Pratt. ******************************************************* From Joanie Pratt . . . . A court-appointed lawyer recently seized control of my father, John S. Pratt, and his assets. Although my father was still viable and capable (stricken only with memory loss-Alzheimer's) and still functioning independently for most daily tasks, the lawyer stuck him in a nursing home against our family's wishes about 5 weeks ago, where an immediate decline, due to lack of care or attention began. My beloved father, Jack, is now not eating. Currently he is at the Preakness Health Center in Wayne, NJ. POWERFUL AND UPLIFTING PRAYERS ARE REQUESTED AND APPRECIATED! I would greatly appreciate emails from everyone about my father's influence on you musically, character-wise, carer-wise or other. Please tell me how you know him, were you a student of his or do you study/play his music? Please share fond memories, stories, photos or videos of whatever you have. Thank you! Love, sadly, Joanie M. Pratt Loving Daughter of John S.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - 2015 AUDIO/VISUAL PRODUCTS
Big John replied to Loiswt's topic in DCA - All-Age Corps Discussions
I agree. Just another brick in the wall. It's sad $$ get in the way of something so trivial as drum corps DVD's. How much money are we talking about here. It was the only chance for many of us to have a high quality record of our performance. Oh well, we'll just to depend on our memories and whatever videos pop up on YouTube. -

I don't think that list is in any special order. Just a list of who was going to be there. You know they like to put us (Cabs Alumni) on last.
