AustinStarsPAA Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Austin Stars Performing Arts Association and Guardians Drum and Bugle Corps Announce Collaborative Effort "Austin Stars Performing Arts Association (ASPAA), under Executive Directors Michael J. Vazquez and Robert Galindo, in collaboration with Johnathan Doerr, Corps Director for Guardians Drum and Bugle Corps (Guardians DBC), have approved and recognized Guardians DBC as a 501©(3) project under the ASPAA umbrella as permitted by ASPAA bylaws set forth. This effort has been months in development as ASPAA and Guardians DBC have developed business, financial, and organizational systems to help create a junior corps that we believe is on the right track to eventually become recognized as a viable "open class" organization in Drum Corps International (DCI). According to ASPAA Executive director Robert Galindo, “The steps both ASPAA and Guardians DBC have taken, we believe, will create an atmosphere for future growth and development in drum corps." ASPAA, with the more recent demise of both junior and senior level corps in Texas, has taken a proactive approach to assisting fledgling musical-education and performance organizations, in the hopes that through both organizational and financial development drum corps will begin to flourish again in Texas. Sincerely, Robert Galindo and Michael J. Vazquez Executive Directors Austin Stars Performing Arts Association B: 512-989-1798 C: 512-587-3491 www.austinstars.org 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
