Please, if you are even considering marching, come and check us out.  Our schedule is great this season… 3 Drum Corps Associates (DCA) shows, 2-4 DCI shows plus championships in Annapolis Maryland.   Please come and join the only All-Age Drum and Bugle Corps in the Cincinnati Metro Region.  Members are coming from Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio.  Our next rehearsal is on March 11th from 9:00 – 5:00 at Lawrenceburg High School in Lawrenceburg, Indiana.  Consider this a personal invitation.

 

 

 

 

February Fund Raiser.

This month's fundraiser involves the selling of PC tune-up coupons for $10.00 each.  The purchaser will be directed to a website where a remote PC tune-up will be scheduled.  This service is completed remotely, so there is no need to move your PC.  The service is only good for PC's not Macs.  Each member is asked to sell 3 tickets.  The proceeds of the third ticket ($10) will be applied directly to that individuals dues.


Winter Guard Recuiting Activities Beginning

Members who wish to participate in recruiting activies targeted to fill the remaining positions in the corps are encouraged to attend.  Please watch both Facebook and the Calendar on this site for more information.  Members who attend the fully recruiting activity will earn $10 off their dues.  This is a great way to attract new members to the corps while at the same time reducing your financial obligation to the organization.
