The St. Croix Rivermen Drum and Bugle Corps from Stillwater will hold its first alumni reunion next week in Stillwater.

More than 100 former members are expected to attend reunion events Tuesday and Wednesday. The organization disbanded in 1984.

The corps, which was based in Stillwater, performed in shows and competitions around the country.

“We put on an 11-minute field show and would go from town to town performing it,” said reunion organizer Sarah Harcey Anderson, a former member of the corps color guard. “We rode on buses and slept on gym floors in our sleeping bags. No hotels for us.”

Reunion events include a golf outing and social Tuesday and a family picnic and the Drum Beauty Drum Corps Show on Wednesday.

All past Rivermen members, boosters and instructors are invited to attend. For more information, call Anderson at 763-785-7820 or visit www.stcroixrivermen.org.
