The Bandettes Are Back!

The Bandettes Are Back and we need Staff!, Staff Needed

The Bandettes Are Back!

We are proud to announce that we will be back for the 2006 season! The parade corps this summer was very successful. We raised a significant amount of money while giving the members experience performing. Members of the parade corps will be returning plus we have several new members as well, in total about 20 to start with. Financially the corps is stable. Our web site is experiencing an influx of activity. Our recruiting plan is in the final stages of development. Everything is on track for a prosperous year!

We are currently looking for enthusiastic and dedicated staff members. We are accepting applications for brass caption head, percussion caption head or tech, visual tech and guard caption head. More staff may be added as needed. These are paid positions. Pay depends on position and experience.

Mad Drum Corps Libs

I have read one too many fan or alumus-written corps histories I guess. They are full of hyperbole and short of facts in my experience. I was therefore inspired to give you the following. Fill in the blanks and see what you get:

Thanks to the folks at madglibs.com for facilitating this silliness.

Update: Thanks to the Mad Glibs Admin for tracking me down and providing me with "fixed" code.
