The Thunderbirds are a part time, Senior Drum and Bugle Corps. We welcome anyone age 21 or older who has an interest in participating in the drum and bugle corps activity, regardless of ability, and willingness to contribute their individual talents to enhance the overall appearance of the Corps.

Schedule
Knowing that many people cannot commit to a full time schedule, the Corps maintains a limited schedule of rehearsals and performances throughout the year. The season begins in January and continues through September.

Equipment
The Corps issues standard instruments or equipment necessary for active members to participate. However, many members have chosen to purchase their own instruments.

Uniforms
The Corps provides dress uniforms to each corps member. However, we require each member to purchase parade uniforms and shoes, on their own.

Fundraising and Financial Support
The entire existence of the Corps depends upon its ability to raise enough money to continue day to day operations. The Corps conducts major fund raising campaigns throughout the year. Each active member is expected to participate in fundraisers as the Corps charges no dues.
