    Slim pickings for DCA corps in the South......

    in DCA - All-Age Corps Discussions

    Posted

    I guess I will put my two cents in. since i run the thing.

    Masquerade is BASED in Ruston, LA. We are affiliated with FPAA in Dallas, TX for non-profit reasons, and quite frankly cuz they are swell folks and they let us be.

    The non-Louisiana residents seem to think the state is ONLY Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Funny. I used to think that til i moved here.

    We have open house on November 25 at 1:30; So that is plenty of time for any LSU folks to get un-hungover from whatever game, and drive up for open house and be back.

    We had a small and exceptionally talented group last year.

    We plan to field a battery and field show this year. The numbers will dictate competitve status.

    So anyone in our neighborhood wanna jump on, look us up.

    I know what you are going thru

    If you want to start a new corps; do it. there will always be pros and cons; always be folks that tell you what you can and cant do. only you know.

    HOWEVER; if you are just interested in the activity and feel the only way you can get involved is to start one; There is one that is off the ground (so to speak) thanks to frontier, that is NOT very far from central arkansas

    give Masquerade Drum and Bugle corps a look

    then maybe with your folks and our folks we can get those numbers up and shut some of these so called "drum corps" fans up

    I, too, did not want to say anything to defend out sister corps until Chris had put the official word out there...

    Frontier you have an amazing corps, an amazing product, and amazing people....

    hang in there; thank you for all you have done and given to US; probably to your own detriment; we stand with you;

    Part of the issue with Frontier today was the lack of Pit (where consistent attendance has been a problem, I believe).... the parts would have enhanced that solo (IMO)

    I totally agree with all the first. I am floored by the amount of positive input we received from the judging panel as well. So appreciative for that, and for the opportunity to give our first public performance relatively near home.

    I would echo that Austin Stars had a nice run.

    Masquerade had an atypical run; we were missing a few, and had some nerves....

    Thanks for all the kind words, see you all in Houston...

    New Corps in 2007

    I would not be much of a director if I did not vote for my own group; and our other family member Crosswinds, would I?

    And no matter what we look/sound like this; We will have more than one person very excited that there is a New Drum Corps to participate with in Northern Louisiana; and that is good enough for those people (whether we are "watchable" or not)

    note: chris sorry it took me so long to get here; Basketball band is FINALLY over...

    Masquerade Drum and Bugle Corps of Northern Louisiana just completed rehearsal number 3.

    We have a small but determined nucleus of folks and are very excited for the prospects for year one.

    We are planning to host our own show, and attend the other 2 of the Bermuda Triangle of the South Drum Corps shows: Dallas and Houston.

    If you are near and have not a home for the 07 season; We would love to have you.

    We have openings in all areas; but especially Mellophone.

    If you are interested, please contact me at director@maskdrum.org

    Thanks for all the interest, hope to see you all on the road this summer

    Drack,

    You and George beat me to it; NOW THAT I CAN FINALLY POST ON DCP.

    Yes quite coincidental that I marched Bridgemen, they morphed into Masquerade for a bit (until the Bridgemen Alum came to be) and now I direct a corps named Masquerade; small world.

    Folks, come visit us at www.maskdrum.org

    We are starting up after the new year (be on the look out for a DCW article, thanks scott, and an Open House announcement)
