Popular Post brassensemble Posted August 3, 2011 Popular Post Share Posted August 3, 2011 To say that the Drum and Bugle Corps Activity is a fraternity of youth organizations that look out for and each other, was reinforced this past evening. The Pioneer's food truck was having some mechanical problems, and had to be left behind for some needed repairs. So the corps and its equipment proceeded to Charleston to compete. The Phantom Regiment, hearing about Pioneer's dilemma shared their evening meal with Pioneer. That was definitely an unselfish, brotherly act on their part. Pioneer and the Regiment share resources when the need arises. Pioneer makes one of their buses available to the Regiment for their use at winter camps. Pioneer's members and staff want to express their sincere thanks to the Phantom Regiment Corps for a wonderful and unexpected supper! Music City Corps, also finding out about Pioneer's challenge gave the corps food for today's lunch in case our truck is still in repair. Wow! this is an overwhelming expression of the "togetherness and friendship" that many of the corps share. And oh yes, an Executive Angel from the Michelin Tire Company from Greenville, SC has donated tires for our food truck to be installed as it is being repaired! People such as have been mentioned, not only make the Pioneer, but every corps, "Better Every Day!" 24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
united92 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) The Angel with the tires marched Blue Stars some time ago and currently has a child in the Blue Stars. The Angel is still very passionate about drum corps. Edited August 3, 2011 by united92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cron Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 This is what drum corps is REALLY all about. If our communities and, god forbid, our government, took this attitude toward life, the world would be a better place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 It's stories like this that make me feel honored to be a part of the drum corps community! This is the same type of unselfish generosity that Bill Cook was known for. Kudos to PR and Music City, and best of luck to Pio! We met some of the Pio members at the Friends of DCI breakfast last year and they are truly a great bunch of kids! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
