"Great idea! I just returned to the Albany area after 20 years and still listen to the old recordings of drum corps. I marched with the St Joseph Islanders and the Valiant Crusaders. Would love to participate if my weird work hours allow it. Best of luck!"  Steve Loiselle, Albany, NY

"I hope this gets off the ground.  I also agree that Drum Corps has been away from this area way too long..."  Michelle Chase, Albany, NY

"I would love to see a Drum & Bugle corps close by so I and the rest of my family could be part of it..."  Bonnie Gardner, North Adams, MA

"Glad to hear someone is actively trying to revive the spirit in upstate NY.  As a former corpsman with the (Rome) Cavaliers, Copper City Cadets and (Utica) Blackhawks, it brings back a lot of good memories, as it will one day for those involved with this noble effort.  Best of luck to you and remember one thing:  It's not "impossible" unless you think it is."
     And... "Good luck on a monstrous project ... as they say, "been there, done that!"  Just pretend you don't know it's nearly impossible and you'll make it!"  David Bowers, Phoenix, AZ

"I have never been in a drum corps, but have always been a big fan.  I would like to see DB corps come back to this area..."  Harriet Juron, Troy, NY

"This is a breath of fresh air to see someone starting a new corps in New York, especially when so many between Syracuse, Albany and NYC have gone..." Tom Johnson, Syracuse, NY

"This area has been way too quiet for way too long!  This obviously means that there's got to be a lot of untapped talent just waiting to be utilized..."  Joe Scarchilli, Clifton Park, NY
