Currently, the band is doing what it can to get ready for the season, and a very limited competition season at that. Looking ahead, it's clear that we are in the place where we need some fresh leadership in the drum corps. Grade 2 is more competitive than ever before, and to remain in the grade we need to develop the drumming program from the bottom up.
Not to say that we haven't had success there. The drummers who have come through the Grade 4 band so far have done very well indeed, playing in the Grade 2 band, and being "recruited" now by other Grade 2 and 1 bands. And, the drummers we have had coming up from Grade 4 have kept afloat at the Grade 2 level these past two seasons. Now, however, we need someone to step forward.
We need that pipe-band-passionate, people-friendly, collaborative, builder to come to Regina. Are you here already? That would be cool. The band has a lot of offer. We have a "turn-key" operation in terms of equipment and facilities, and what we need now is the right drumming guru to take hold and help develop drumming from the ground up.
And make no mistake: there's as much challenge as opportunity. You'll be planting trees on a dry plain...it takes lots of buckets of water, patience and a bit of luck to grow it. But you'll be part of a team that's been doing it for a few years, and we'll start running. Check out the web site, and let us know if you're interested.
