Sayre Kulp Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I would imagine most will come at the Open House, Matt. I heard rumor that we may know something in the next few days, but don't quote me on that. You know it will be good, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Stalzer Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Sunrisers Announce New Board of Directors We know that many of you have heard rumors of changes taking place at the Sunrisers. Effective November 1st 2006, Sunrisers Corps Director Nick Yaworski decided to step down from his role and spend some much deserved time with family instead. Those of you who have been around DCA long enough will already know that it was Nick's hard work and relentless dedication that helped bring the corps back to the field of competition after several inactive years. His passion for the business of the corps and love for the members that fill its ranks is impossible to overlook. Please join us in thanking Nick for his tireless devotion to our beloved corps and wishing him the very best. No one person can fill Nick's shoes. But together the current members, staff, administration and alumni can and will make him proud in his retirement. Stepping into the role of Corps Director for 2007 is Mr. Charles Cook. With Mr. Cook we have been diligently working not only to fill the void in Nick's absence but to carry on the torch and bring the corps to the next level. We're excited to introduce a newly assigned 2007 board of directors which includes the following personnel:  Joe Verlezza - Former corps director 1984-1991, mellophone 1966-1975, visual instructor 1980-1982  Charles Cook - Former corps Director 1983, color guard 1963-1989, drum major 1973, 1980-1983  Gary Williams - Former corps Director 1992, 1994-2002, marched 1974-1992  Scott Yaniga - Bass section 1977-79, Skyliners Alumni corps 1995, Director 1998-2004  Jack Alexandro - Current Alumni Corps director, bass section leader/instructor 1974-1989,1991,1994,1998  John Torres - Member Snare Line and instructor 1991-1995  Dave Franceschina - Tenor 1971, snare 1972-1982, perc instructor 1982-1983, percussion arranger/instructor/coordinator 1984-1987, 1989-1990.  John Clougher - Marched 1980-2006, marching tech 2004-2005 We are currently in the process of securing design and instructional personnel who will be returning as well as interviewing new additions to the staff for 2007 and going forward. Our goal for the future is to provide a sound infrastructure built on a professional business plan and expert training that is dedicated to supporting the most competitive drum corps possible. Make no mistake about it - we take this responsibility seriously. We have the utmost respect for the passion, dedication and integrity of our current corps membership and so this process requires that we take great care in our decisions. It simply cannot be done in a matter of days so we ask that you stay tuned here. We're excited about what we're working on and will fill you in ASAP. Our open house is still scheduled for November 26th at the Nyack Center as per Tom Pohl's post earlier on this site. We hope to see some of you there. In the meantime feel free to contact us via email at sunbari1@sunrisers.com . Sincerely, The Sunrisers Management All I can say is these are serious guys. They were there when the corps was on top. Nick did a great job putting the corps back on the field, and it won't be forgotton. I've said it before and I'll say it again. When this corps gets back on top, you'll want to be a part of it. Come on down to the open house and bring a friend or two or three. You don't want to miss the boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
