Richard Williams Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 The Midwest has a new face of drum corps on the horizon! The Delta Renegades Drum & Bugle Corps from Columbia, MO is an all-age corps in its beginning stages of operation. Organization structure is solidly in place, a well-designed instructional staff is secured, and membership is growing as the word is being spread throughout the state and beyond. The instructors have extensive drum corps experience with such corps as the Blue Devils, Blue Knights, The Cavaliers, The Cadets, Carolina Crown, Phantom Regiment, Troopers, Belleville Black Knights, and Colts. We have almost finalized plans to secure our first rehearsal camp on Saturday, April 11. Instruments and equipment to use is almost complete, and a hosting site is but a phone call away from reality. A full schedule is taking shape for the upcoming summer, as parades, concerts, and exhibitions will be confirmed within a few weeks. Plus, the member dues is held at a minimum so that becoming a part of the corps doesn't cramp the pocketbook! Currently, there are openings in every caption, but the quality of new membership is very good. If you would like to become a part of making history as a member of Missouri's first all-age drum corps, please contact the Delta Renegades at Deltarenegades@rocketmail.com, or call us at (573) 447-3375 or (573) 268-5478. And, be sure to check us out on the web at www.deltarenegades.org. Sincerely, Rich Williams Executive Director Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeN Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Best of luck, you guys! (Though it threw us for a loop for a second; your brass arranger and ours have the same name!) Mike World Gone Mad - Austin, TX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigken Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Is this serious or some early April Fools joke? D.R.A.M.A.? C'mon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaLisaMoMeesa Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Kinda odd....having two "Renegades" in the same marketplace, but okaaaaaaaaaaaaaay. More drum corps is always a good thing, but if DCA thought they had enough of the "Renegades" now they have a double dose. lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camel lips Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 This only sounds like positive things coming with the expansion of DCA. They are only about 5 hours from the new home for DCI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Sounds like a great idea to me. Hopefully they and Prairie Sound can both be competitive soon in DCA Central and will foster enough corps to have a DCA Mid-America . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Williams Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 Is this serious or some early April Fools joke? D.R.A.M.A.? C'mon... No joke..... We are almost 100% set up for our first rehearsal camp in April. There are around 30 members already signed up, and we have a staff with experience from BD, Phantom, Cavies, Madison, Troop, BK, and more....

We only hope to achieve the outstanding musicianship as the SF Renegades. I heard a recording of your corps this summer...high-quality to say the least!
