Purple Lancers Auburn Show March 7th

[sparky9464]

To Tom MacDonald and the entire Capital Brass Ensemble..Thank you for such a splendid performance. The people in the city are still talking about your presence in Auburn. Your group along with PTB have started what we feel is an introductory to future things to come in May 2011. With your help and other ensembles we will hold a large standstill indoor concert competition next year with prize money. Three accredited drum corps judges have agreed to judge the contest..Criterias will be made up and sent to all mini corps throughout the Northeast in the Fall. Six mini corps will be invited,(A mini corps composition will be explained and evaluated when criterias are formulated) ..with the Purple Lancers putting on an exhibition. Thanks again Tom..you and your group have helped convince us that we can pave the way to a new era of drum corps competition....There are more months of inclement weather in the Northeast as compared to the sun belt states and west coast . Also ,three months of summer like weather in our part of the world puts extreme pressure in getting corps ready for summer competition not mentioning the expenses.Therefore its only logical that a new spirit of drum corps competition with new formats and criterias can revolve during Oct to May. Especially with(mini corps concepts) fewer participants and expenses. Not everyone has the luxury of 85-100 member drum corps.
