World of Pageantry

Hello Drum Corps Family,

My name is Bob "Fred" Frederick. I am the newly appointed Corps Director for the Kingsmen StarCorps from Anaheim, CA. I marched with the 1974 Anaheim Kingsmen, the 2007 Kingsmen Alumni Corps at the DCI World Championship Semi Finals (in exhibition), held in the Rose Bowl, as a member of the Bass Drumline. I was also on the field with the 2009 Kingsmen Senior Corps (I marched the American Flag).

I am posting today to let everyone know that we are ramping up efforts to field a World Class Level DCI Drum and Bugle Corps for the summer of 2012. We are actively seeking members for all sections of the corps. We have rehearsals scheduled for Tuesday nights at the Los Alimitos Joint Forces Training Base, 40th Infantry Division Band Room, 4506 Doolittle Ave., Los Alimitos, CA 90702. This base is the same base that the 1972 DCI World Champion Anaheim Kingsmen rehearsed. Our ultimate goal, if I dare say, is to one day return the DCI Championship trophy to its original home.

We are working out details for an Open House at the Los Alimitos rehearsal site in the next few weeks. I will, of course, post that information here when all the details are finalized.

If you are interested in joining or if you have any questions you may contact me at: frets2@hotmail.com or on my cell at: (978)618-2420.

well, interesting, are you in the process and have applied for world class status? has DCI approved you guys? I mean, that's good and all, but it's hard to believe what you are saying. IF you have been approved already, than yeah....welcome back!! if not, then don't give kids false hopes please. BTW....it is spelled Los Alamitos.....
