A new Drum and Bugle Corps is being formed in the Southern Tier of New York and the Northern Tier of Pennsylvania. It will be comprised of alumni of all the Drumand Bugle Corps of the area that are no longer in existence.

The corps hopes to reunite all the drum corps alumni of the area for several practices and a few select performances. Corps represented so far in the membership roster are: Barons of Steuben, Mello-Dears, Grenadiers, Squires, Mark Twain Cadets, Seneca Chiefs, the Castlemen, and the Express. Any former member of any drum and bugle corps is welcome to join.

This will be a low time investment endeavor. The object is to reunite old friends and relive the golden days of drum corps. The goal is to rehearse 4-5 times and perform 2-3 times in local parades during the summer of 1999.
