Happy 50th Grenadiers. Have fun on Saturday, you certainly do DESERVE IT. I know the people of Kingston, will just go NUTS!!! Now what would top off the 50th is a GREAT DAY IN ROCHESTER, NY Doug Smith

John, you bet it was sweet, and as a matter of fact, 5 years apart would be even sweeter. DCA here we come. Doug Smith

I could be wrong, but the first year Grenadiers were in Class A, I think 2004, they won it. Doug Smith

Sayre, the plan is to not wait until Labor Day Weekend. Doug Smith

BOSMarcher, I find your last sentence quite intriguing, there may very well be a corps in CANADA, that might give them a run for their money

A top 4 Poll that would be great, easy too

Mark, I think the word is Grenadiers, from Kingston, Ontario Canada Doug Smith

All the best to Alliance, on their jump to OPEN Class. But you raised a very good question, who is left in the top 5 for example in Class A, from 2008. Fusion Core, Southern Cal Dream, and Kingston Grenadiers. HMMMMMM, should be extremely interesting don't you think? And maybe one of those corps will jump to Open as well, could be a great season, for A Class Doug Smith

Hey, don't think I haven't already called him. He now has gig at Disneyland as Goofy. And actually he might do it for a Smirnoff Ice, or two, that's about his limit. Doug

So are their any taker's. The beverages are always cold, oh and Canadian. Doug Smith

ANY THOUGHTS ON Class A although it is still early

Ok, so if you live 4 hours east of Kingston, Ontario or 3 hours West, we need you. The Kingston Grenadiers Drum and Bugle Corps is looking for 1 lone soprano player. Drum Corps experience would be nice, however, not mandatory. We have another full camp coming up on the 30th, 31st of May. COME ON OUT, pick up a horn, and have some fun. If you live in Northern NY, and have not yet, decided where to march, c'mon up to Canada, be a canuck for a year. Doug Smith

What a great addition to the Grenadier Staff. We had great visual staff prior to Duane coming on board, he just makes it that much better. Great to have you back Duane, and by the way White Mountain Ice Cream opens very soon. Doug Smith Grenadier Alumnus

Don, how right you are. Going to be a great show, very entertaining, and to be able to get out so early is great. The weather is being co-operative. Now a note to all of the members, please insure you bring your pepper spray, it is turkey season, and black bear season is upon us, and I am sure no one wants to be ravaged by a turkey. AHHHH, THE GREAT CANADIAN NORTH Well maybe some of you do, but bring it anyways. Go GRENNIES Doug SMITH Grenadier Alumnus

There appears to be several corps on this list that will make an impact. Won't really know will we till everyone has a show, but the poll's are fun, that is for sure. Doug Smith Kingston Grenadiers 10 BC-Current

It was a great weekend Don. Several spots filled in all sections, which always makes it worth while. Great Weekend everyone. See everyone in a couple of weeks. Doug Smith

Hey Don, maybe we can get Mr. Harper to PLAY MORE COWBELL. Looking forward to this camp, it is gonna rock Doug Smith Grenadier Alumnus
