Contrary to earlier statements, The Marauders Drum and Bugle Corps of Magnolia, TX will remain with their uniforms from last year.


Our drumline setup is as follows - 10 snares, 5 tenors, 5 basses, and a 4-man cymbal line. We will be fielding Yamaha drums; 14" SfZ snares, Field Corps tenors (6,6,10,12,13,14"), and Field Corps basses (18,20,22,24,28"). Our pit will have 8 - 3 vibes, 3 marimbas, one auxiliary and one timpani. Updates on brass coming soon.

The Jackson Flares would like to apologize for stealing The Marauders' Xylophone/Glockenspiel player . . . .

Forgiven...

The Marauders Drum and Bugle Corps will be performing their own composition of "Inchon - The Music of Robert W. Smith."

Due to the heavy percussion effects called for in this intense war-themed show, the previously-mentioned cymbal line has been moved to the front ensemble, for the following setup:

10 snares
5 tenors
5 basses
12 front ensemble

The front ensemble will consist of 5 marimbas, 5 vibraphones, one glockenspiel/xylophone player, and one player devoted exclusively to the extensive auxiliary equipment in this show. ALL members of the pit will be called upon to play various percussion instruments during the show, but this particular player will have the pleasure of firing machine guns at his will.

A last-minute switch of uniforms.

Ok, note to self... keep corps away from stadium when Marauders are on the field. The last thing I need is an injured/ killed contra player two minutes before my corps hits the field.

In honor of mah berfday , I'd like to ask all div.1 corps at the Guardsmen home show to take the night off...

Just as a heads up - we will NOt be like the '05 Scouts. We have not peaked yet - some considerable changes have been made to the '06 Marauders program. Keep an eye out.

After a frustrating performance at div. 1 semis, The Marauders drum and bugle corps are finished for the 2006 season, finishing in a dismal 16th place after a consistently strong season.
