The Waterloo Band Festival was revived one year ago, largely through the efforts of the Guelph Royalaires Alumni Drum & Bugle Corps and its president, William Granger. This new version of the old festival, which draws bands from various parts of Ontario and from New York State, takes place again at 7 p.m. Aug. 19 at the stadium on Seagram Drive at Wilfrid Laurier University.
...
Mark you calendars. The new Waterloo Band Festival is back.
University Stadium, in the heart of Waterloo, will host the event Aug. 19.--fitting since the stadium, formerly named Seagram Stadium, was part of the original site of the historic Waterloo Band Festival. The internationally famous festival drew bands from across North America and lasted for a few days.
The second annual event, sponsored by the Guelph Royalaires Alumni Drum and Bugle Corps, will carry on its goal of raising money for Canada's war heroes at the Juno Beach Memorial in Normandy, France.

Press Release - May 2006
The Kiwanis Kavaliers Drum Corps regretfully announces our decision to withdraw from the 2006 Drum Corps International Summer Tour.
At our most recent quarterly evaluation of the organization, it was agreed that the challenges surrounding the upcoming summer tour outweighed the corps beliefs, goals and values.
Although the Kavaliers have been persistent to field a corps over the past 35 consecutive years, and have overcome numerous obstacles, with only weeks to go before the beginning of the season the organization feels that the decision to forge ahead without a strong team of designers and educators would be less than acceptable for our membership.
The Kavaliers will not participate in the DCI competitive tour, however, 35th Anniversary plans and performances will continue throughout the year as planned.
Executive Director Doug Darwin stated, "The Kavaliers are NOT folding and NOT going inactive. In fact, we are just re-grouping for the future. Our management team's efforts will be focused immediately on finding homes (other organizations) for the committed members, volunteers, and staff whose ambition is to participate on the DCI tour this summer".
The Kavaliers organization will continue to support the activity and others involved in the 2006 Summer events, however they have cancelled the two DCI exhibition shows which the corps was going to run in the early season.

Three rules will be voted on at the DCI winter meetings from Jan. 27 to Jan. 29 in Pasadena, Calif. Instructors and corps directors will deliberate on these proposals at those meetings.
Rule number one is about the location of the sound board that allows for corps amplification, and who operates that sound board. Rule number one was submitted by George Hopkins of YEA!
Rule number two would change the sheet that judges use to adjudicate color guard performances. It was submitted by Denise Bonfiglio and Marc Sylvester, representing the Cadets.
Rule number three would extend the front boundary of the front sideline from 10 feet to 12 feet. It was submitted by Ron Hardin, representing the Santa Clara Vanguard.
