The Corps will be returning to "The Classic" … for the first time since 1999. The Spring Standstill is being held Saturday 3 May 2003 at the Eastman Kodak Theater in Rochester, New York. The bus will depart Erie midday on the 3rd, and return in the early morning hours of the 4th, after we win the party.

Corps Uniforms, Equipment & Apparel Available… Corps jackets, sweatshirts, polo shirts, caps, etc. as well as corps parade uniform items are available by calling Butch Cascario at 814-461-8202 or by going to the website and placing your order online. Also, brass musicians should direct any instrument inquiries to Fred Nicklas at 814-456-7628. Drummers should contact Tom Matczak at 814-864-9674. For dress uniform information call Gary at 814-836-8500. If you do not plan on active participation this season, please turn in your uniform and/or equipment, or make arrangements to have them picked up, so that others can use them.

Miscellaneous Notes……Rooms have been booked for DCA weekend at the Econolodge right at the stadium exit off I-81. This hotel is a 5-10 minute walk from the stadium gates. The Mini Corps contest will be held back at the Montage Mountain Amphitheater………. If you do not receive email from the corps on a regular basis, go to the Corps website, and register, or send in an email and we will add you to the growing list……… As we are adding a pit section to the Corps, certain items are needed such as sheets, padded blankets, comforters, etc to cover and pad these instruments during transport. Any donations would be appreciated.
