The next several post will be from last years Press. The city in which the corps is located in, lost all of their archives in a fire. The news will now re-publish the article concerning the corps.

Press Release from Guardsmen director Ryan Galasso!

Yesterday was our first performance of this season. I was very pleased with they way our brass played, but I was very dissapionted in our visual performance. Placinig 6th at Amherst, Ma this weekend was a major accomplishment for the corps! The 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8th place corps were seperaed by 1 point! This was a relitivley tough competition and I would like to congradulate VK Star on their win.

The Guardsmen are proud to present their results and comments from the July 12th, and 19th shows. On the 12th the Guardsmen placed 2nd behind Vk Star once again, with a score of 78.95. " I was much more pleased with our Visual performance than the one we performned on opening night," said corp director Ryan Galasso. The corp placed less than one piont from VK. They also took the High Brass and High Music awards." I dont think we are going to make much changes in the show right know." We are making good process and we will see how our results come out.

Tonight the corps placed a dissapionting 6th place. " We played somewhat at our potential but the other corps came ready to play and it showed in the scores," said Ryan. We didnt take high Music this competition like we've had all year, but we did manage to hold on to high brass once again. THey corp is looking for some fine tuning to do before the next contest.

It is in my sadness that I bring you the scores for the Guardsmen's show on the 20th. The corps scored a very low 78.10 (the lowest score except for opening night). "I was extremely disappointed in the way our percussion played,' corps director Ryan Galasso said. "They flat out sucked, and it really hurt the corps." The corps brought home best brass, best GE, and best music. Although the scores balanced out with a percussion score of 12.5! I hope that the drummers get it together for our next competition. "I would like to win one," said Ryan. "I don't want captions, I want a win!"
Hopefully with this new revieved corps spirit the corps will take the field tomorrow at Harrisburg, PA. Come out and support the corps.

The corps show was much better this evening. The corps put up a 79.35. "Once again our percussion and visual performances were god aweful," said corps director Ryan Galasso. "We're just not good. Hopefully by the next season the corps will get it together and have a great summer training and be physically ready for the challenge. Right now there just inexperienced plain and simple." The corps finished its competition tonight in 6th place. The southern regional championships are this weekend and the corps will see how they rank against all other corps.

"The corps keeps getting better and better, but little by little," was a quote taken by corps director Ryan Galasso yesterday. The Guardsmen placed 5th at Baltimore, MD and took the High Brass and GE captions. The corps put up a score of 79.60. ")Our brass section was smoking!" said Ryan. Our visual performance and our percussion dragged us down once again. "We will have to prepare them for the season better next time." Our percussion doesn't have any chances to show what its made of in our show except the solos. We need to spice up our show flavor for next year. I'm going to keep mental note of all performance changes we need to make in order to be the best.

Tonight the Guardsmen Performa at the DLO south Regional and will be performing around the 16th spot. Come out and support the corps!

WOW! That was all that corps director Ryan Galasso had to say about the Guardsmen's performance tonight. "They played great," said Ryan. The corps tied for 14th at the South regional with a score of 81.45 (our best of the season). The corps made almost a 2 point jump from last nights performance. "I was very happy with the improvement in our percussion section. That made a difference tonight. Our visual still needs to be roughed out in spots but that will come with some more time." The percussion section improved almost 2 points for yesterday and our visual almost a whole point. "I had to bust out the whip and get the corps in gear," said Ryan. "And it paid off. I am very pleased with the way they played and they should be too." The corps will be performing in Toledo, Ohio tomorrow before another regional on Monday and our home show on Tuesday. Come out and cheer us on.

"I am happy for the corps," said corps director Ryan Galasso in a speech to the press about his corps performance. "We are playing our best that we have ever played, it's not good enough. I'm happy if we play our best and place dead last. It would bother me but not upset me." The corps finished 6th in Toledo tonight with a score of 82.05. The corps brought home High Brass again. "Our visual performance score has held steady for the 3rd straight competition. I think they have turned their corner and will be smoking for the summer season. Or visual ensemble score fell over a whole point thought and our percussion score a whole point too, and that disappoints me. "As a corps we have turned a major corner and are on the uprise in the activity. The corps plays in Indianapolis tomorrow night and then its off to the Midwest regional in Indiana. Then finally the corps will host its home show on the 28th. Show the corps you care and see them perform.
