The East Coast Jazz
Will Not Be Ready For 2012
--------------------------------------------------------
________________________________________
Maybe its the economic times or maybe we just didn't work hard enough to develop sufficient membership for reentry in 2012. Whatever the reason, we are unable to field the East Coast Jazz this year.
Sadly there will not be a competitive corps from Massachusetts this year. It seems quite unbelievable when you think of all the corps in Massachusetts over the last five decades.
Perhaps we should leave it at that but it seems a shame that future students will always have to travel to Connecticut or New Hampshire or further to join a drum corps.
We have not completely given up on the idea of a Boston area, competitive drum corps. We will continue explore the possibilities of establishing a well financed corps.
In the meantime we will be working to raise the cash needed to buy musical instruments and uniforms.
LUCKY DUCK ROUND UP
The Massachusetts Division of Recreation and Conservation did not approve our request for a duck race on the Malden River for the reason that they did not think the river suitable.
We have the permission of the City Of Malden to run a Lucky Duck Round Up on Fellsmere Pond. The event will take place on August 11th starting at 10:00 AM. The pond is on Fellsway East near Amerige Park at the intersection of Fellsway east and Hospital Road.
Hundreds of rubber ducks will, swarm onto the pond and dozens of "lucky Ducks" will be rescued by our rescue squad. If you have the numbers of any of the rescue ducks, you will win the prize associated with that duck.
We are still partnered with Triangle, Inc of Malden, the state's largest and most comprehensive training center for physically and intellectually impaired individuals.
So watch for the ducks and keep up with our progress as we determine our fate.
