FrankA Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Did they go inactive for lack of money or members, or was it just because they couldnt devote enough time to thier show this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gbassman5 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 hmmm....sounds like they have a pretty good plan though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txtubadude Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 This is a strange situation. They were in 6th last year and had every chance to move up. I hope they come back in 07. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 by the read, it seems to be a recruiting problem. But what they have in store for the summer seems to be a very good plan. Sounds like fun, actually :) Best of luck AE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumCorpsMom Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Say it isn't so! :( First Stutters, then Pride, now AE. Our whole western contingent gone.......... Sad :sos: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomguard Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 i marched on AE's guard last year and i know a lot of the people didn't come back for the '06 season. that was probably one of the biggest problems. there were about 10 people from my city who went there who aren't returning, a few from the states who i dont think were coming back (they joined because they were going to join strutters last summer but strutters went inactive so we were the next closest corps.) and there are a few (me included) who have moved on to div I corps. in general, it is hard for canadian marching activities to stay afloat because there is no media coverage of it up here. we dont have high school or college bands or corps, they're all extracurricular and almost no one knows they exist. in canada if you said 'i march in a drum corps' people either say 'whats a drum corps?' or 'oh, so you play the drums?'. its difficult to thrive when the populous is ignorant to what we are.

codyIL03 Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Any of AE's members that want to march this summer, send Linnie or I an Private message on here, and we will get you on the field. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC1974 Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Pretty sad - but hoepfully all works out - and they return next year........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadacorps Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 (edited) Say it isn't so! :( First Stutters, then Pride, now AE. Our whole western contingent gone.......... Sad :sos: No worries, the Western contingent is all but "Gone".... Every corps has had to take a season off now and then.. its the nature of the beast in Div III, especially in Canada where marching arts are all but absent in most areas of the country. Allegiance has a good program going this summer, and I have confidence that they will be back in '07... As well, from what I hear, The Strutters are currently rebuilding as well..
