Here's a very nice photo in Drum Corps International Magazine, featured in their 2013 Summer Preview article.

Happy Mother's Day!

We hope that you all get to spend time with your mom, or to remember all of the great things that moms have done for us.

Another great video of our great guard, it's members and why we do it. Thanks Tami!

Today, the NW drum corps alumni and fans lost a long-time leader and supporter of the former Flamingos and Argonauts Drum and Bugle Corps.

Courtney Jones, age 87, passed away peacefully with family.
Courtney began his tenure as Director of the Flamingos in 1961, when they were sponsored by the Breakfast Optimist Club of Salem. The next year, he also took on the role of Board President, holding both positions until 1982. In 1975, the Flamingos were re-branded to The Argonauts.

Courtney was an officer with the Northwest DC Association and was on the board of Drum Corps West.
Courtney had three sons and one daughter who marched in the Flamingo and Argonauts. His wife Delores was head support person for all those years.

We offer our condolences to the surviving family and friends, and to the many people whose lives he touched.

The Oregon Crusaders would like to thank everyone who contributed towards making last evening's dinner and auction - Trumpets in the Trees - a very fun evening. From the dessert dash to the wine frenzy to the silent auction items to the iPad Mini to the artwork and trips (how do you pronounce that? FRANCE!) we are grateful to your generosity in supporting our program and youth education in the performing arts. Now we gear up for summer. Can you believe that Memorial Weekend Camp is just around the corner?! It's almost DRUM CORPS SEASON!

Dear friends of Oregon Crusaders, you know the importance of fundraising when it comes to arts education, and tonight is a great opportunity for you to join us in raising money for the Oregon Crusaders and have a great time doing it. Tickets will be available at the door, and we have wonderful food, entertainment, and auction items lined up. Please join us and help us make a big difference in our community. http://oregoncrusaders.org/schedule/trumpets-in-the-trees/

We're looking forward to this Friday's annual Auction and Dinner, Trumpets in the Trees at the World Forestry Center. Information and Tickets available at http://oregoncrusaders.org/schedule/trumpets-in-the-trees/
