May daughter went to a DCA corps this year after having marched Open Class in DCI for 4 seasons. She really likes working with DCA as she gets to march, field and travel, but also gets to "have a summer". She really likes the weekend only thing and the fact that it goes for the entire summer - not ending the second week of August. Enjoy wherever you march, just march!!!!!

Legacy Winterguard of Hamilton, Ontario are also interested in your time slot. We're on at the Trent Arena at 417pm on Thursday so a 12-2 would be awesome. Please contact our Director, Mara Adams at 1-905-741-2667. Thank you in advance!!!!

Dutch Boy (Open Class) guard used Air Blades this summer. My daughter was a member of the guard and really enjoyed using the Air Blade - I think you'll see a lot of that this season - winter and summer.

As a Board Member, Parent, and Chaperone, I am quite sad about the turn of events for HYPE for 2008. We have tried everything to obtain the brass membership that is required to have a competitive corps, with no avail. We will continue our recruitment strategies for the 2009 season. We will host the Yamaha Canada Cup on Sunday July 27th at 2pm at Ron V. Joyce Stadium at McMaster University. Please come out and support the show as well as HYPE. Thank you for your concern. All the best to those fielding this summer. Go Get 'Em!!!!

No World Class shows in Canada, but a great Open Class show on Sunday July 27th at the new Ron V. Joyce Stadium at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. Tickets are very reasonable. Come on out and support HYPE and Open Class in Canada!!!!! Contact www.thehype.ca for ticket information.

HYPE announces their 2008 DCI Open Class Show "Shuffle Up and Deal". Great songs for everyone to "sing" along. Make sure you come on out to one of our shows, especially our Home Show. Hamilton, Ontario is hosting a DCI Open Class Show on Sunday July 27th at 2pm at the brand new Ron V. Joyce Stadium at McMaster University. Good luck to all the new and returning members of HYPE!!!!
