Cavalcade of Brass: Rained Out
Thank you to all our fans for coming out to Naperville on Saturday to support the corps and waiting to see if the weather would cooperate. With safety our number one priority for both the corps and fans, the remaining part of the Cavalcade of Brass was cancelled due to the lightning and rain. Our stated ticket policy of no refunds does go into effect and a rescheduled “makeup” date is not possible, as the corps continue to tour from city to city throughout the summer. The entire amount collected for the Brubaker scholarship raffle will be used toward more scholarships at the end of the season. A special thank you to the North Central College security crew for keeping us safe and also to our announcer, Channel 7 meteorologist Mike Caplan, for keeping us up to the minute on what the weather had in store for us.
Cavaliers Proud to Announce DCI Volunteer of the Year
The Cavaliers Drum and Bugle Corps is proud to announce that Helen Turner R.N. has been awarded the DCI Volunteer of the Year award. Helen has been an integral part of The Cavaliers success as this marks her 28th year of service. Every summer Helen, along with a team of other nurses and physicians, work tirelessly to ensure the health and safety of the members. On behalf of the entire Cavaliers organization, I would like to personally thank Mrs. Turner for her hard work and dedication, that allows for the continued success of The Cavaliers from year to year.

BUDDY, CAN YOU SPARE A MILE?
The cost of moving the Cavaliers down the road (just over 14,500 miles this summer) has jumped from about $5.00 a mile in 2005 to $5.75 in 2006 and $6.32 in 2007. With fuel prices back on the rise again, we are anticipating that the cost of moving the corps this summer will be over $7.00 a mile. We could certainly use your assistance in meeting this challenge of moving our fleet of 5 buses, 2 tractor/trailers, utility truck, souvenir truck/trailer and mini-van.
See how we're facing this challenge
and what you could do to help The Cavaliers.
