Grenadier eh Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 It is with much regret to announce the Grenadiers will be not taking the field of competition for the upcoming 2011 season.There are many contributing factors many of which have been discussed at length and not unfamiliar to our brothers and sisters in our beloved activity. There is however a strong nucleus of members willing to press forward and keep the corps actively involved on a number of fronts. A bright determined group to say the least. Thanks to DCA for the venue to participate and hopefully the Yellow Red and Black will be back on the field in the near future.

xtreme0204 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 wow. Im sorry to hear this. I remember Kingston Grenadiers were the first group I saw when I saw my first show in Scranton for championships. Thats sad to see them go! Someone said shocking news was coming, and it sure was! I hope this is the last of the season..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayH Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I heard this news over the weekend but refused to believe it until I saw your announcement here. So sorry to hear about it Don, we can only hope for the best for the Grenadiers in the future (and there will be one). Hopefully we'll see you this summer, Don.

amysnook Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Was hoping the rumor I heard wasn't true. Grenadiers were so well liked at Big Sounds in Motion last year and had an awesome performance. Hope to see you back on the field next year, Don. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandpa Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 (edited) Like others, I heard a rumour about this over the weekend and didn't want to believe it. Thought about asking here but it wouldn't be right without facts. Really sorry to hear this and hope you get back soon Don. The only competetive corps in Ontario now, as far as I know, is the Blue Saints in DCI Open class. A sad state of affairs for a province that had dozens of corps and its own circuit once upon a time. Good luck in the future, Grennies - and good luck Blue Saints! Edited May 17, 2011 by Grandpa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camel lips Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I'll echo what everyone else has said here....... I hope to see the Grennies back in 2012! I so agree. I hear there are two more corps on the chopping block this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
