ShutUpAndPlayYerGuitar Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 The short capsule summary of what I've heard/read (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong): they moved to Florida from Kitchner-Waterloo, ONT. Then in 2007, almost all of their equipment was stolen. From Wikipedia: "According to a reward poster on the corps's main page, twenty trumpets, seven mellophones, fourteen baritones, ten tubas, seven snares, five tenor drums and three bass drums were stolen." Haven't heard anything about the organization since then. Huge bummer. I really liked their Beatles show from 2003. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xandandl Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) Kiwanis korps? I might be tempted to say that they went the same way as the Rotaries when drum corps switched to two valve horns in the '70's, ha, ha. yes, the Rotaries are still alive in New England and in Carmel, Indiana.

Latrobe's Finest Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 They ended up merging with Tampa Bay Thunder (and kept the KK name). If I remember correctly, they had camps in preparation for the 2006 season, but didn't have the numbers to make a go of it. I think we ended up with a member or two from them in 2006.
