Welcome. We are pleased that you have shown interest in the Defenders Alumni Corps.

Although the name of the corps is the Defenders Alumni Corps, we respect that many of our members come from other places.  We also know that some potential members have not played in years. Have no fear, you will get your lips and hands back with a little rehearsal. You’ll be surprised how much you retained over the years. 

 Membership is open in all sections. Rehearsals are one Sunday a month with 2 optional music rehearsals on two Wednesday nights a month.

 The corps will retain some of our 2009 music and add an additional 2 numbers, Never My Love and Macarthur's Park. There will be plenty of rehearsal time and sectional work to get new members caught up and older members more comfortable with what we know. We understand that not everyone will be able to learn everything, we just tell everyone to know what NOT to play when we perform.

We do understand that life and family do come first. We only ask these few things of our members.

· Respect the people you are marching with no matter what their age or background.

· Make every effort to attend rehearsals and performances.

· Respect the people teaching you.

· Respect the equipment you are using.

· Respect the facility we use.

· Mostly enjoy your time here.  

• There is NO FEE to march!

All uniforms are provided. We only ask each member to buy their own black uniform pants and shoes and participate in the corps 1 or 2 fund raising events to the best of their ability.
