The SunArts Org Update: Introducing Los Tiburones!

[RockEuph]

MAITLAND, FL- The decision to finally fold the Challengers was a difficult one, but while one door closed, many windows opened. This allowed the Hurricanes to move up to Open Class Competition and from the ashes of the Challengers rose a brand new ensemble, Los Tiburones! The corps name, spanish for "the sharks", draws inspiration from EA Games nearby production studios EA Tiburon, home of the Madden NFL video game franchise. "We are extremely excited to be fielding a new ensemble this year," says SunArts Org Director, Nick Bischoff. "We have taken all the proper steps to insure that Los Tiburones have a very successful first season!" The corps has inherited the equipment, and kitchen trailers from The Challengers as well as their buses and their instruments. Los Tiburones will be fielding 82 members in their inaugural season.

A brand new drum corps means brand new uniforms and Los Tiburones will be hitting the field in a unique uniform drawing inspiration from the ocean and their namesake. The most unique defining aspect would be the "Sharkos" popularized by Southwind.
