oldguard Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 (edited) This is great news! From my seat in the stands, I have much admired the work of the many new and returning staff members who are coming together this year at Citations. It looks to be an exciting year for this drum corps ... and for this drum corps fan. I am really looking forward to seeing what they bring to the field this summer. Best Wishes to everyone at Citations for a great run starting in 2008! Edited December 29, 2007 by oldguard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Burgendy Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Can't wait to see what the Northeast brings out this year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estancia93 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Almost seems like a merger between Spartans and ECJ, but not since both corps still claim to exist. But still, a scary thought for the competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leadsop97 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 was thinking the same. Basically much of ECJ's and Spartan's staff all merging onto one corps. I'm excited for the Citations. It should be an interesting year. I was pulling for them last year, and I still am. I can only imagine that with the addition of Larry, Richie, and Lennie their brass line and colorguard will be much improved. I've heard nothing but amazing things about all three of them from my friends that marched Spartans. And as long as their visual program keeps taking the steps forward that they did last year I have no doubts that they can make their move. Good luck.
