burdettsky Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Below is a quote from the Yankee Rebels website. The Yankee Rebels Alumni Drum & Bugle Corps will conclude operations following its performance at the 2010 Shamrock Festival on August 14, 2010. Many thanks to our friends, fans and family for 22 years of outstanding support. Although the corps will cease operations, the Dixie Stinger will live on! Watch the Dixie Stinger web page on this site for details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YR-Rudi Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 (edited) What this means is that the Yankee Rebels Drum and Bugle Corps will give its final performance on Saturday, August 14, 2010 at the Reilly Raiders Show. After 22 years of performing we're just getting too old and too tired to continue. We just couldn't get the membership to commit to parades and shows. So it was decided that rather then trying to struggle any further with poor personnel showings, that we would call it quits after the Shamrock Festival. We have a proud history and we didn't want to tarnish it with any sub standard performances. So, come out to the Shamrock Festival on August 14th to treat your eyes and ears to the last great performance ot the Yankee Rebels.

ContraLou Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I'm sorry to hear this news but can understand the reasons why. I always enjoyed the entertaining shows put on by the Yankee Rebels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Ream Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 i think this is going to be an issue for many alumni corps that do not have an active field corps to keep supplying members Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
