Some Great news from George Lavelle & The Alumni Corps Staff!!
The Bridgemen Alumni Corps Finalizes equipment for 2005!
Dec 2- The Bridgemen Alumni Corps finally has the equipment it will
need for 2005. The Administration has been hard at work for months
trying to gather the necessary equipment it will need. Through the
efforts of many, the Corps now has commitments for a full drum
battery, flags, rifles, and, 75 horns!
In June, Director George Lavelle and his staff began the arduous
task of collecting enough equipment to field a corps of 150+
people. "Its one thing to start a corps", George said "it's another
to start from scratch with a corps of this magnitude".
The first equipment was purchased with the help of The
Skyliners. "The Skyliners were there for us, helping us to get
started at a time when we had very little money" George said. The
Bridgemen purchased 34, 2 valve horns, from The Skyliners. The
Administration then began looking for other pieces to supplement its
equipment. It reached a deal with Carolina Gold to purchase 3
Contras in September, and just this week has been granted permission
to use Phoenix Drum Corps full compliment of 22, 3valve and 16, 2
valve horns. "75 horns will get us where we need to be" said Asst.
Director Tom Kowalak. "This, coupled with the horns many members
already own, will allow us to field the 120 horns we envisioned".
Meanwhile, The Bridgemen have been working on purchasing a full
drumline. "We have agreed on a deal with Yamaha to purchase 9,
snares, 4 quints, and 6 bass drums", Lavelle said. "Deals are also
in the works for all the Sticks, mallets, heads and cymbals we will
need". "I can't believe we made to this point", George said, "we
have the horns and drums in place and will be ready for our first
rehearsal".
Guard Caption Head, Matt Hurley has graciously agreed to provide the
corps with all the Flags, poles, and rifles The Guard will
need. "This is really going to be a lot of fun", Matt said, "I can't
wait to get started".
The Bridgemen now need some way to get the equipment around. In a
surprise announcement to his staff, George announced that they are
starting negotiations for the purchase of an equipment truck. While
this is in its early stages Lavelle believes he can finish a deal to
have the truck before the first rehearsal in January
