Thanks Gary!

I'm wondering about the style and/or type of jackets corps are using. Lined or unlined, type of collar, hooded? Solid color or two or three colors, nylon, cotton, or some type of blend? Similar to DCI jackets, varsity type, or windbreaker? Any input would be great.

Looking for suggestions on places to order jackets for our alumni corps. Wondering what some of the other corps are doing.

A new Alumni Corps is forming in the Great Lakes Area! The Great Lakes Drum Corps Alumni(GLDCA),has been formed by a group of alumni from several corps in the old Wolverine/Great Lakes Drum Corps Association. The Association existed from abt. the mid 60's to the mid 80's. It was comprised of corps primarily from both upper and lower Michigan, Canada, Ohio, Indiana,and Illinois.
