If anyone is still looking for a place, most corps now have a few holes... and if you want to have the drum corps experience without going on tour so you can do school, work, etc... then look at the DCA corps. I know at Frontier we are looking for 1 more bass drummer and tenor (some last minute conflicts have arrived), and we can still expand the guard by 4 more folks, as well as 1 mallet player in the front ensemble. Right now all the brass spots are filled, but there is a minicorps we have as well as other opportunities for those who want to play

Always a fun concert on the steps, just wish Revolution was able to join us this year.

For the 2007 season, Frontier will be in brand new, custom designed uniforms. After 2 seasons on the field, the corps is ready to step up and establish a visual identity that matches the identity set forth on the competitive field. All donations received from August 1 - December 31st 2006 will go directly into the uniform fund. Our total goal for this program is $10,000. With some special off season performances contracted by FPAA, we are kicking off this program with $3,500 in the Uniform account. A demo version of the new uniform was constructed and debuted at the 2006 FPAA Banquet on September 15, 2006. There are two ways to donate to uniform campaign: 1 - Join the Voice's Circle, a dedicated monthly payment from a checking account or credit card - automatically deducted through Paypal. 2 - Join the Director's Circle, a one time cash, check or credit card donation.

Frontier announces 2007 program In 2007, Frontier is turning back the clock, almost 40 years. The year...1968. America was in a turbulent time. The Vietnam War caused violent opinions on both sides of the battle, and a multitude of emotion. Civil Rights battles reached new heights, and we lost one of it
