[Review of Syracuse]

Please before putting up that groups has folded,get the facts.The Corps has not folded,but I have resigned.Because of a few,but enough,people not showing up to finish the drill and clean the music at camp, we're not be able to finish the season.

Theres's still 20 people committed to next year.The remaining members and staff are determined to put this back on the field. I personally just can't do it no more.I've put four years of my life into this and I'm tired.The corps will be moving into its new facility by September,the vehicles are in good shape,there's plenty

of equipment and there's a great staff there.I will still be involved with the board

and will give the new director all the help I can.

Sincerely,

Jeff Danchik,

[Looking for 2valve DEG euphonium]

My little hornline has grown.We are now able to add another voice to the lower end,but only one of our 2 euphoniums are good enough to get a season out of.Would like to find another reasonable or as a tax deductable contribution.

Thanks,

Jeff
