FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Brigadiers to Perform at Community Wide Dialogue's "Duck Race" to End Racism

Central Square, NY (June 6, 2007) - The Brigadiers Drum and Bugle Corps is pleased to announce that the corps has been invited to perform at one of the premier community events in the Syracuse area – the Community Wide Dialogue's "Duck Race" to End Racism – on Saturday, June 9, 2007. The Brigs will present portions of their 2007 show, "Images in Time," as the opening entertainment act of the event. The corps will begin its performance at 11:30 a.m. at the Syracuse Inner Harbor.

The "Duck Race" is an annual event hosted by the Community Wide Dialogue to End Racism, the longest-running dialogue program on ending racism in the United States. The race is held at the Syracuse Inner Harbor, where community members and businesses can sponsor ducks (rubber, of course!) to race in heats down the Onondaga Creek. Corporate sponsors of the event include M&T Bank, Syracuse University, Lockheed Martin Corporation, Byrne Dairy, The Rosamond Gifford Charitable Corporation, Time Warner Cable-Syracuse Division, and DestiNY USA Foundation, among many others. The Brigs are honored to be chosen to perform at this prestigious and meaningful event.

With roots dating to 1938, The Brigadiers Drum & Bugle Corps was reorganized in 1991 after a nineteen-year absence from competition. The Brigadiers are 5-time Drum Corps Associates World Champions, winning titles in 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002, and are the only drum and bugle corps to ever win four consecutive DCA titles.
