Congrats Vigilantes!!!! It has been an enjoyable spring/ summer watching the growth of the new corps! You guys are great "sports".... All year you were looking for a way to hit a home run! whether it was: *** Allowing me to visit during a rehearsal camp *** Run the bases with the few suggestions that I had made *** Supporting the other corps in the region I could go on and on, but I need some sleep ;) Congrats again - so proud of you!!! Can't wait to see what is in store for 2010!

WOW, THANK YOU SOOO MUCH Fran!!! It was great seeing Fran and Barbara back in Rochester this weekend! Wish I was able to chat longer.........

Ha - funny ;) I would never do that to Spandy! That's what happens on a fun filled exhausting weekends do to ya!

There is no such thing as too much fun ;) We are having a blast on the field again this year! Sometimes I wonder how we are so productive at rehearsals when we have sooo much fun.

Ok Guys and Gals...... Take a deep breath, cool Down!!!! My question to you all that are being so negative........... Why are you trying so hard to hurt a drum corps? There have been so many corps that have become inactive due to so many reasons, we don't need to have more corps go down due to negativity on DCP!!!! We need to keep this activity that we love dearly growing! With that being said - go Vigilantes!!!!

If you mean tough as in having a fly away softball hit the ankle during evaluation tough - then yep I am ;)

Wow - that is a heat wave!!! I don't know if I remember how warm that feels :) It was a whoppin -1 this am when I went to work!

Thanks Dick! That is a great question, but don't think there will be a meeting that soon..... Anyways - the winter p-rades are a ton of fun ;) Yes we are crazy!

ah not for sure on 1st ? annnnddd - 2nd ? = maybe - you will just have to wait and see us in the summer :)

Auditions are knocking on the back door.....

The Govenaires are pleased to annonce the return of Winterguard for the 2009 Season. Building on our success from ‘08, this season will again focus on quality of training and entertainment while maintaining efficiency in rehearsal. We are currently looking for new membership!! To be a part of the ‘09 season, please attend our two-day audition / get-to-know-you process from 12-4pm on both November 16th and 23rd. These days are to ensure the following: in order to design you into the show in a way that highlights your skills yet challenges you just enough, we need to know what you do and how you do it. Yes, you will be learning new skills and bending your experiences into our basics and choreographic style, but we also want to know what you're good at. Further, do you play nice with others? Rehearsals will begin December 7th, and run on Sundays throughout the season If you have any questions or would like to attend auditions, please email director Jeffrey Peterson @ guardancer@aol.com Looking forward to a successful Winter!

The Govie buses had passed by Erie very early this am...... (after having a 2 hour delay on I-90 somewhere in the pa area due to an accident) The truck may be seen later today.

Govies busses have approx 8 hours left of our travels....... We have seen a few fawns and a car upside down but thats about it -

We are very close to Toledo, OH as I type!!!! Yeah for lil traffic in chi-town Chicago :)

Hmmm, guess that would be all corps then especially after!
