| Welcome.
We are pleased that you have shown interest in the Defenders Alumni
Corps. We are an all age drum & bugle
corps with members from ages 16-65. Although the name of the corps
is the Defenders Alumni Corps, we respect that many of our members
come from other places such as bands or drum corps.
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 2011 music and add an additional 2 musical
numbers. 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 and that members will
have to miss rehearsals and performances. However, we ask that you
make every effort to attend whenever you can.
We
ask these few things of our members.
·
Respect the
people you are marching with no matter what their age or background.
·
Respect the
people teaching you.
·
Respect the
equipment you are using.
·
Respect the
facility we use.
·
Mostly enjoy
your time here.
There is NO
Dues to march. Members will be asked to pay a $25 uniform fee! (both
summer & military uniforms are provided). Member must buy their own
black tux or dress pants and black shoes.
Members are
also required to sell 3 books (15 tickets) for our golf ball drop.
