sparky9464 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 The Purple Lancers are thrilled to be going up north to the St Lawrence Seaway for a parade and concert at Cape Vincent this weekend. It will be the first in a two week period that the corps will be in that area. On July 24th we will be in Ogdensburg for their festival with a parade in the morning and a concert that evening and looking forward to seeing Tom MacDonald and his group from Capital Brass! The Corps performances in May,June and now July have been noticed and invitations have been extended from communities in New York State to be part of their festivities. If there are experienced drum corps personnel who are itching to return to playing, marching and a desire to march in parades and do standstill concerts (No competition format) with no fees required and traveling by motor coaches to parades of 1 1/2 hour or more from Auburn with meals provided at no cost to its members, then make contact with the information provided in the web site (auburnpurplelancers.com).Every year we are striving to become stronger and better and to once again take our place in the upper echelon of the drum corps community. Our goal from the onset has been to slowly but surly attain this position with the least amount of hardship and financial burden on our members.

Geneva Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 This is a great group of people who are making a very well organized effort to return a drum corps tradition to central NYS. They deserve your support. I am proud to say that I have traveled to march with them from 300 miles away! Dick, let me know your schedule (PM me) and if at all possible, I would love to march with you. Currently August looks open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Young Adults (aka: Kids) had a great time. Looking forward to the rest of the season. So a spot is always available to you.
