My sources say, they will not make it to their 75th. Their hall was sold, Alumni will not step up, or do anything. Horns and drums will most likely be sold to pay off the remaining debt. Most are concerned about the mess that maybe left, people who have been involved for quite sometime seem to have walked away as well. Will we hear anything about this, No, have we heard anything from them in the last 7 years.
I do know that there is talk of a possible new organization in the works.Independent group made up of alumni from different area corps. There is alot of interest in the area, people feel that the fox valley area would be a gold mine for an arts organization.
The Americanos has a tarnished reputation with alot of people. I forsee if things were to remain active they would have alot of trouble finding funding. Many want nothing to do with the organization. Things may have been different if promises were kept and people actually worked to make things better.
Controll over the organization will be given up, I feel its going to be too late.
New artical on the plan for the hall
Congrats Madison, your are now the third oldest corps in the nation.
