For the record, Dutch Boy only used amplification for voice last summer.

For the 2008 season, Dutch Boy is performing a show titled "Boxed"

<**> I am very sad to hear about this. Marching with Dutch Boy for many years and now teaching there, I always considered Lake Erie respectable competition and a respectable corps. Especially because of the close proximity and the fact that we often ended up at the same shows together.
The Drumcorps world is dying and there needs to be something done about it. Ontario alone has been reduced to 2 or 3 corps from the dozens that used to make their home here. Every corps that is forced to fold or become inactive for any amount of time is a HUGE loss the drumcorps activity as a whole.
Again, I am very sad to hear about this loss.

At their last camp Dutch Boy announced that it will be changing it's image. The corps will be fielding new uniforms in the colour of black with silver highlights. It promises to be an amazing change for the corps, and anyone looking to march this summer should look at Dutch as they are looking for people to fill horn and guard spots. BLACK UNIFORMS + SOUTH PARK = GREAT SUMMER
