Bringing Back the Brigade
Chippewa Falls
Jul 25, 2005The Chippewa Valley had a Drum and Bugle Corps called the The Sundowners until the mid-1980’s. Now, organizers want to bring the corps back, even though it will take a lot of work. “It takes dedication and a lot of money,” says Ron Keefer with the Chippewa Valley Drum and Bugle Corps Association. “We have to buy horns for the kids, we have to buy drums, flagpoles, pay for the music, pay for the drill.”
The Association needs about $140,000 to start up the corps. On Tuesday night, Chi-Hi will host the Drum and Bugle Corps Show starting at 7 p.m.
I was wondering what age your program starts. I have a kindgartern and he wants to learn how to play the drums. I remember the program when I was younger I had friends that were involved with the program, they learned a lot and had lots of fun. I would appreciate any information you have on this. Thank you for your time.
