willyc Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Don't know if this has been posted before, but, if not it deserves notice. This weekend has become a tradition for the Spirit organization - reuniting alumni and introducing new members to the Spirit family. We welcome all Spirit alumni and family members to this celebration of the 2009 season start! Sunday May 24, 1PM CDT JSU Campus An open invitation from Mark Whisenant and the Spirit Alumni: It is with great pleasure that we announce the 2009 Family, Friends, and Alumni picnic on Sunday May 24th beginning at 1:00 pm (Central time). When Bill Campbell, Steve Brewster, Tommy Whitten and I dreamed this up in 2001, none of us imagined this would become a part of he corps history. How fortunate we are that it has. For those of you who have attended before, the plan is the same. For those who have not, this is how we do it. Friday May 22th is check in day for the beginning of all day rehearsals. It is also the day when the Spirit alumni will begin to gather to start the event. One new change for this year will be on Saturday night, when we will serve an evening meal to the entire drums corps, staff, management, and participating alumni as part of an expanded Spirit History Night. Sunday at 1pm local time, we invite all members, alumni, fans, friends, and family to be our guests for the outstanding Spirit brand barbeque. This recipe has been honed through the years, and many of our guests have been inspired to run right out and slap their mamas after indulging. So be careful. It is that darn good! Our complete meal is complimentary to you, our honored guests. This event will also be the debut of the 2009 Spirit souvenir season. The latest designs will be on display, and our guests will see them first. Following the meal, Executive Director Joel Vincent will introduce the 2009 corps to you. Please bring chairs for your group. While we will serve you a drink with your meal, a cooler with extra drinks is recommended. We are on the JSU campus, so no alcoholic beverages are allowed.
