http://www.drumcorpsplanet.com/forums/i ... pic=134472As of this weekend, the Brigadiers Music Association (BMA) along the administration of the Brigadiers Drum & Bugle corps has determined that the group will not be fielding a competitive DCA corps for the 2010 season. While the Brigadiers maintain a dedicated nucleus of talented performers, this difficult decision was made due to unsuccessful attempts to recruit additional members to make 2010 a productive season.
The Brigadier organization will continue to function, and the corps will be performing in several parades and exhibitions this summer. There is also serious consideration being made for a mini-corps to perform at this year’s DCA Championships. BMA will also focus on expanding our presence and support of the performing arts in the Central NY area. We will be continuing our sponsorship of the Onondaga Community College Winter Percussion program, with plans to expand on this in the future. Other community based and educational outreach programs are also being explored to promote the corps and our activity.
Over the past decade, the Brigadiers have “raised the bar” in DCA. We believe that DCA is a better organization based upon the standards that were set. We look forward to building upon our membership base and returning to the competitive field to raise them once again.
The Brigadiers Music Association will still be sponsoring two DCA shows this coming season on July 24th in Jamestown, NY and on August 14, in Cicero, NY. Additional show and ticket information will be posted on the corps website in the coming weeks.
Our thanks go out to everyone for their dedication and continued support of the Brigadier organization.
Yours in Corps,
Richard Martin
