The busy mid-December weekend camp was time for the second round of 2010 auditions, the 2009 banquet, and also brought the first official meeting of the Crossmen Alumni Association in San Antonio with the purpose of forming the new southwest chapter.
The following is a letter addressed to all Crossmen members and supporters, past and present. It is a "State of the Crossmen" report which includes a wrap-up on the happenings of the 2009 season, and a look ahead at what's in store for 2010. In addition, there is mention of the numerous ways you can get involved and help the corps during this holiday season, and in the coming months as the drum corps season quickly approaches. Please take some time to download and read this letter written by Crossmen Executive Director Fred Morrison.
