ALUMNI SUPPORT & INVOLVEMENT

Some comments were made on an earlier forum thread about how the website and forum seemed to be dominated by people from the 1960s (many of whom seemed to be complaining about modern drum corps and DCI).

While I haven't tried to tabulate the forum comments (WAY too much), I DID look at the alumni contributions and help being provided by various corps alumni "decades". A very nice level of involvement and support by all eras!

Workers/ helpers:

1950s - 3
1960s - 9
1970-80s - 5

Donors:

1950s - 16 ($345)
1960s - 37 ($1034)
1970-80s - 14 ($425)

More could be accomplished with more workers and helpers: for the website maintenance, for writing materials for the history, for event help.

What did you do in the Corps? Drummer 1958-63; Quartermaster 1964-66; assistant instructor 1964-70

What years were you a Corps member? 1958- 63
