February 20th 2006..another milestone.

Today in a phone conversation, Dan Acheshon extended an invitation for the Kingsmen Alumni Drum and Bugle Corps to perform as the final corps at the 2007 DCI SEMIFINALS! For those who haven't been, this is a HUGE show. There are nearly as many people at the Semis as there are at finals because there are 17 corps competing for the final 12 spots; emotions are running high, and competition is fierce. We'll be the final corps of the evening, so our beautiful uniforms, fantastic music and intense performance will shine!

He's amazed we've come so far so quickly with our membership (as of this writing) well over 170 people! He did pose one condition, and that is we have to put our money where our mouth is, so to speak. He'll be coming out to SoCal several times over the next couple of years to oversee the week-long event, and is looking forward to seeing what we have to offer.

So ladies and gentlemen, it's all on us now. We have a lot of work to do, recruiting, rehearsing and putting together a show that will be talked about for years. We're up to it, and I for one am going to go throw a few quads in celebration!
