A new Alumni Corps is forming in the Great Lakes Area!

The Great Lakes Drum Corps Alumni(GLDCA),has been formed by a group of alumni from several corps in the old Wolverine/Great Lakes Drum Corps Association. The Association existed from abt. the mid 60's to the mid 80's. It was comprised of corps primarily from both upper and lower Michigan, Canada, Ohio, Indiana,and Illinois. The Bluecoats and Glassmen were both members of the GLDCA in their earlier days.

We have started a facebook page but will have a website eventually.
