Anyone have any idea what that would be and who is running it? Google search indicates that's the only reference to it anywhere. It's rather a curious thing. A reasonable guess would be that it's the actual parent organization that holds/owns all of the corps assets, some kind of legal framework to prevent individuals from being personally sued, a reasonable precaution, like the old "Westshoremen, Inc.", Jim. And... who runs PC? I have a feeling we all can figure that one out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is where name "Pioneer" came from (I suspect RB would rather have called them something like the Milwaukee Leprechaun Lancers or something like that).

And after about three years the only KK members left were Filipelli, Geiger, Fawber and Larry Peck(?) off the top of my head. unless the Inc was used later legally.... dang I should have thought to google...

Bravo Zulu as they say here I'm rather certain it was used as a legal term as well. Larry is no fool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have any idea what that would be and who is running it? A quick peek at Guidestar shows the official name of the non-profit organization is "Pioneer Drum & Bugle Corps Inc". Therefore, that would be the Pioneer Corporation. As the latest news on the Pioneer website points out, Bill Strube is running it. The interim board, therefore, will be working closely with Bill Strube and his team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
