After struggling for nearly 10 years to field a competitive summer Drum Corps, coupled with the fact that we had been very successful within the Winterguard Circuit, the decision was taken in 1999 to just concentrate on the Colour Guard side of the activity. In 2000, to offer an additional service the membership and to ensure we remained an all year round organisation, we included Cheerleading as an additional activity.
