MuddySpikes Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Word out of Southern California has the Kingsmen all age corps going belly up. Apparently there wasn't enough interest to keep the effort alive. Has anyone heard anything from this great drum and bugle corps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scv guy Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 (edited) Word out of Southern California has the Kingsmen all age corps going belly up. Apparently there wasn't enough interest to keep the effort alive. Has anyone heard anything from this great drum and bugle corps? Not the official Kingsmen spokesman or anything, but I have read that our board has decided that it was too late in the season to put together a field show for the Kingsmen as an all age corps in 2008. However, this year The Kingsmen will perform as an alumni corps at local functions, parades and stand-stills. Hopefully, we will see The Kingsmen do another field show as an all age corps in the not too distant future, it just won't be this summer. The recruiting effort continues for the '09 junior corps so the organization will be focusing on that instead as it is a priority.

Thanks for the partial confirmation....make sure the board knows they need to send a rep to the DCI meeting in January ro else they can't get into shows.

GregGilman Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Sigh... I'm disappointed, but understand the decision not to field an all-age corps this year. However, this is good news.... The Kingsmen will perform as an alumni corps at local functions, parades and stand-stills. Wouldn't it be great to see Kingsmen Alumni corps at DCA's amazing Friday night I&E extravaganza? Perhaps as a minicorps or brass ensemble? All the best to our southern California friends in blue. See you on the 50... someday soon, - Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
