spamula Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Grenadiers Announcement AnnouncementDespite a very aggressive recruitment and marketing effort over the past months, the Grenadiers unfortunately will be withdrawing from the Summer DCA tour schedule due to the lack of membership in our brass section. It comes as a huge disappointment, especially since we were experiencing our most successful drumline and guard programs to date. It is important to note that although the Grenadiers will be competitively inactive, we will maintain a summer schedule of parades and festival appearances that were already existing in our summer schedule. It is the full intention of the Board of Directors, the program staff and a large majority of existing membership to resume a full camp schedule again in October to bring the corps back to the field for 2007. The Grenadiers are the longest finalist-finishing Canadian drum corps in DCA history, and I feel confident that after a much needed break, the organization shows good signs of re-organizing and preparing for a successful return to the competitive arena next summer. Sincerely, Scott Atkins Program Coordinator Kingston Grenadiers Drum Corps Very Sad news, its just not affecting DCI anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jami Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 hurry back Grennies! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimF-LowBari Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 *sigh* At least they're doing the parade bit so they won't be totally inactive. It's so much harder to reform if the corps shuts down and everyone scatters. No Senior corps from Canada :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msjbass Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 :( Today is a sad day in drum corps. Grennies have always been one of my favorites. Every once in a while, things like this happen. Maybe some time off for some people will help. Good luck, Grennies! We WILL see you back in 2007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
