Fran Haring Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I'll second what everyone else has said. Come back strong in 2011, Brigs! Fran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhawtho1 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 This is unfortunate. I think this is a direct result of our economy and the sad situation this state is in. It is causing everyone to re evaluate everything they do. I do think that the mini corps idea is something that just might take off in ways many never thought of. Many corporations, schools etc are scaling down their operations and drum corps are really no different. I am sure the Brigs would use this as a perfect time to get into the local schools, perform at different local functions to get back in the public eye. While doing this they still can get their fill during DCA weekend. I also think that there are many people who play locally within the Brigadiers rehearsal site that might find it interesting to do this mini corps thing. Many of us have a performing itch, just not the time to commit to a field program, or the financial cost that comes with a field schedule. Although no one wants to hear a corps going "inactive" I for one am curious about the new direction it could go and the endless positive possiblities that could come from it.

Latrobe's Finest Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 It's almost like you sat in during our staff meeting ;-) On behalf of Shenandoah Sound, I wish you the best of luck with recruitment. I look forward to seeing the Brigs back and better-than-ever in 2011. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomPeashey Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 It's almost like you sat in during our staff meeting ;-) that door is opened... now drive the truck through it... sounds like a certain CNY band director who used to play lead for Crossman (and Rochester Crusaders) just volunteered...

LVKICTuba Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Sad day indeed. Here's hope for a successful mini-corps year and that you can build upon that for the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldManDrumCorps Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I was really hoping this wouldn't happen, and am still dreaming that it won't. Truly a dark day for drum corps. Someone in one of the threads mentioned the possibility of Empire benefiting from this, but that would only be bitter-sweet with the loss of Cru and now Brigs in the same season. Good luck Brigs, see you next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
