Openings for new members of all ages for brass, percussion and colour guard. This is a great opportunity for free instruction by professional educators.

kusankusho Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 (edited) This is a great opportunity for free instruction by professional educators. Does this mean there will be clinics going on with your techs at the open house? Edited August 30, 2006 by kusankusho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grenadier eh Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Does this mean there will be clinics going on with your techs at the open house? It is an orientation day to educate and inform. This will include some playing demo`s as well. Our tech`s will be happy to answer any questions you might have. We will also have several of our caption heads in attendance as well. The day is a start to re-energize drum corps in Canada as our grass roots have become weak and as folks hang on to the past which is fine, what is really needed is to move to the future. Hope this helps. Cheers DLD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorpsBuff Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 (edited) Friendly reminder from any of us Yanks who travel to Canada you MUST have your birth certificate to cross the border (or at least get back into the states). As of 2007 you MUST have a passport to cross the border. Also bring Photo ID (drivers license) and don't be surprised for searches. Best of luck Grennies!

Thanks for the reminder I believe the passport is manditory if you arrive by air or sea for 2007 and the following year it will be required at land crossings. They only search for Canadian Beer. Can`t blame them. Cheers DLD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers DLD Interesting story, my uncles apparently tried to cross the border with too much beer and they were forced (passengers of course) to drink enough beer in Canada to cross the border with the legal amount of beer.
