Alright, Rebel Man.....it's time to get with the program....LOL!!!!

COME BE A PART OF THE "HERITAGE" THAT HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME......AND JOIN THE ALUMNI OF A CORPS THAT IS STILL GOING STRONG AFTER 30 YEARS!!! So, what has been the secret of the Crossmen's strength?! It is the "Unity" of the hearts, minds & spirits of all those who have come together to form the "Crossmen Family".....and the simple faith & knowledge that when a group of people come together to work towards a common goal, and give it everything they have, there is nothing that is impossible to them! HELP US CELEBRATE THE "UNITY OF BONES"........ A group of Crossmen Alumni have formed an Advisory Board of Directors and are in the process of re-organizing a "Crossmen Alumni Corps"! The Corps will be open to both Alumni of the Crossmen, and also anyone who is interested in becoming a part of the incredible "Heritage of Crossmen"! If you are interested in becoming part of the Crossmen Alumni Corps, please visit our official Website at: http://XMENALUMNI.FREEWEBPAGE.ORG/ to be placed on our mailing list! The Board of Directors are: Brenda Kurtz, Alumni of Crossmen 1989 - 1990, was also a member of Florida Wave 1986 - 1988, a founding member of Classic Senior D & B Corps1991, founding member and Board of Directors for Music City Legend 2004, Board of Directors for G-Force 2006, and has been a Brass & Marching Tech for Dixie Heights High School in Edgewood, KY, as well as a private Trumpet Instructor for Pompano Beach Middle School in Pompano Beach, FL.

And, serving in an Advisory Position to the Board is: George Headley, Alumni of Crossmen 1981 - 1983, and Crossmen Brass Staff 1984 - 1985. Our goal is to create an Alumni Corps that will not only provide an outlet for Alumni and others to be joined in the "Unity of Bones", but also to give back to the Corps where it all started for us....the Crossmen Junior D & B Corps! We will endeavor to do this, not only by serving as a source of support & inspiration for them, but also, by becoming a source of financial support, as well. The Corps will be based in the greater Philly area, and is a completely "independent effort", as we are not affiliated with YEA. Right now we are working to build a strong foundation for the Corps, with tentative plans to start rehearsals in the Fall, or early 2007, and are looking for help in ALL AREAS.....ie members, instructors, arrangers, volunteers, administrative & support staff, as well as looking to add a few more Board Members!
