John M. Johnson Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 *****Official Sun Devils Press Release***** This report is bittersweet. The previous posting on DCP is correct. The Sun Devils Drum and Bugle Corps will not be fielding for the 2012 season. With a full drumline and guard, we did not have enough participation from the hornline to continue the season. The management felt that, for the betterment of the corps, we should suspend activity for 2012. With the bitter comes the sweet. The Sun Devils as an organization grew this year. Impact Drum and Bugle Corps and RPT Indoor Drumline are now both a part of the Sun Devils family. Impact plans to attend the 2012 mini corps competition! Impact is based out of Orlando and is currently looking for new faces to have fun and play down a couple of blistering tunes. RPT will be led by our percussion caption head, Vic Kulinski. RPT has been given permission to continue the use of all of Sun Devils percussion equipment. Lastly, as everyone knows, we were fortunate enough to use all of the brass from North Port High School. Not having North Port as a home base created some unique challenges. We were able to borrow horns from Teal Sound and Tampa Bay Thunder and finally struck a deal to purchase horns from both corps. We are currently looking for an additional 15 horns. Subsequently, we also purchased a new equipment box truck. As the corps looks to the future, we will take a look at many factors that should hopefully bring the corps back in 2013. The infrastructure is set up for success. All we need are the members. Thank you and good luck to all corps this summer. And a special good luck to Teal Sound and Tampa Bay Thunder! LEAVE NO DOUBT! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relocated due to my Wife being in the Navy; living in Jacksonville and willing to drive. Even have my own horn. Just looking for a place to call home. Thank you for your help and I look forward to speaking with someone about Impact Drum and Bugle Corps. Respectfully, Everett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2B or not 2B Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Hey al you Florida people. Don't forget about the "Florida Brass Alumni" Corps. (in the Lakeland area). Maybe some might be able to come to either TBT , SD , Impact. Maybe somebody not ready to compete in THOSE Corps might want that type of thing. Good to see som uch going on down there.
