FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Downey, Glyde, and Wunderlich to Attend Brigadiers' May 3-4 Camp

Parish, NY (April 29, 2008) - Coming off a well-received performance at the Mighty St. Joe's Alumni Classic, The Brigadiers Drum and Bugle Corps will head into another exciting weekend of drum corps with the arrival of their music design team. The Brigadiers enjoy one of the finest musical arranging teams in the drum corps activity: Wayne Downey, David Glyde, and Jim Wunderlich, the same gentlemen behind the DCI World Champion Concord Blue Devils. The storied trio will travel east for their first visit of the 2008 season to work with the corps this weekend, May 3-4, for what is sure to be an experience not to be missed.

The full corps will rehearse once again at Altmar-Parish-Williamstown High School in Parish, New York, just north of Syracuse. Rehearsal will run from 1:00 p.m. - 10 p.m. Saturday and from 9:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. Sunday. The Corps will conduct open rehearsals all weekend and invite the public to attend. The weekend will provide an outstanding opportunity to observe these talented and iconic gentlemen as they share their insights into both the Brigadiers' 2008 program, "Reflexions," as well as the drum corps activity itself. Interested musicians, teachers, and fans alike won’t be disappointed!

A few spots remain available in the brass and percussion sections of the Corps – and there is no better time to become a part of the 2008 edition of The Brigadiers than now!

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.
