wolfgang Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Copied this from dci.org corps updates, under Soundsport section. Since they call themselves a corps, hopefully they can develop the right way and become a full-fledged Open Class corps some day. We need all the new corps we can get (as long as responsibly managed). The brand-new Boise, Idaho-based Gems Drum & Bugle Corps hosted its very first rehearsal camp in early January. The team posted a highlights video recapping the historic event. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSnareDrummer Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Awesome news. Maybe some former Troopers on staff? Home (boisegems.org) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Tuma Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Hmmmm… The BoD is made up of three family members as well as corps staff. Haven’t people learned not to repeat the mistakes of defunct corps? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSnareDrummer Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I saw that too and had the same thought initially. Then I thought why not cut them a little slack right out of the gate and starting from scratch. It can't be that easy to bring in a whole BOD of corps/business/managerial experts to any new organization. Give them a little time to get off the ground and work themselves into the community network and see what kind of interest they can draw from the types of folks qualified in those areas. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fighterkit Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Reminds me of that one corps started by Scouts alumni that I can't remember the name of. This was in the last 20ish years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
