rwrice Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 The Prairie Sound Drum and Bugle Corps of Kansas City, Kansas was formed by Jeff Dancinger in June of 2004. He is the Corps Director and also a performing member of Prairie Sound as a baritone player. Jeff got his junior corps experience as a member of the Sky Ryder's from Hutchinson, Kansas. Interest and membership grew quite rapidly during the summer of 2004 and the corps held it's first organizational meeting to appoint Horn, Drum and Color Guard Instructors as well as Management Personnel in the fall of 2004. Prairie Sound already owns it's own line of horns and drums which is extraordinary for a start-up organization. Due to this fact a short rehearsal was held after the first official meeting where performing members were treated to the honor of standing in the first-ever "Horn Arc" for the Prairie Sound Drum and Bugle Corps. Quite a feat considering the entire organization was only four months old at the time! Unfortunately, during this period of rapid growth and developement for the organization, in October of 2004 Jeff Dancinger's National Guard unit was called up to active duty and sent to Iraq. This has left the corps in somewhat of a temporary holding pattern over the last ten months. However, his unit is due to return back home to "The States" sometime in August or September of 2005! Please frequently visit the Prairie Sound Yahoogroup for further updates on Jeff's safe return home to his family and join us in praying that this will happen. The organization will then resume operation and look forward to a great future in 2006 and beyond.
