jmackay Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Having just called Mr. Fritsch on his yacht (sat/radio phone - since there is no cell reception), it seems that Aussie hats and chicken wings are not available on his yacht. He did indicate that pork medallions in a red wine sauce is on the menu for tonight.I was asked to relay a message to the director of Grenadiers though. that Mr. Fritsch would consider coming out of retirement as an unpaid Drum Major. Cheers, Flipper Why does everyone want to be Drum Major all of a sudden??? Jeff MacKay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom D'Bomb Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 (edited) After a very successful 2009 season the Kingston Grenadiers are accepting resumes in various positions through out the corps, all candidates must send a resume with references and a mission statement on what they will bring to the table for the 51St version of the Grenadiers. If you feel you have what it takes to educate a really great group of Canadians, and have a really fun time doing it at the same time than this is the place to be. All resumes can be sent to randybillings@sympatico.ca We are hiring in: Brass Design Brass Team Visual Design Visual Team Color Guard Design Color Guard Team Again thank you all for a very magical 2009 season. Best regards Randy Billings Hate to start trouble... but, my perception of this thread is that all the people who had the jobs listed above have been fired. If this is NOT the case then you should dramatically change the tone of this thread... I don't know too many people who would want to work for a corps who will publicly fire most of its staff if you don’t win DCA Class A. Maybe I'm reading this wrong.
