Welcome to my drumcorps blog. The sole purpose of this blog is to provide information about and support for the drumcorps activity, especially here in the Midwest.
This blog is intended to be positive, optimistic and informative. Although comments are welcomed, they will have to be approved for content before they can be viewed. Suggestions are also welcomed.
I humbly request that you honor and respect the activity and all of those who work so diligently to provide musical entertainment for drumcorps fans around the world.

Looks like Chris Ferrara and Jeff Williams are off and running with the new Small Drum Corps Association.
The SDCA opens its first season with two nice shows this weekend. Saturday in Menomonee, MI....a 6 hour drive from Chicago; and on Sunday in Fond du Lac, WI...about 3 hours from Chicago.
Both shows will feature the same line-up: Northernaires, Blue Saints, Twilight Knights, Royal Airs and Minnesota Brass's "Minne Brass". I am not quite sure about the format....arena drum corps. Will there be any marching or movement? My guess is that some corps will and others will not. I do know there will be scores and placings.
Chris has asked me to come to a show and take some photos. I will attempt to make the Sunday show and will offer a report on this blog.
So, if you have some time to spend, why not drive to Dairy Land for a show? You can get the information by logging onto: http://www.thesdca.org
The only other show that is definitely scheduled thus far (although there are plenty of "tentative" shows) will be held in my home town, McHenry, on Fiesta Days weekend: July 18th. Mark your calendars for that one. It will feature Lakeshoremen, Royal Airs, Twilight Knights, Classic Cavaliers and the Crystal Lake Strikers drum line.
