Where have all the Bugles gone ?
Have Drums been replaced by bells ?
Have Bugles been replaced by trumpets ?
Has style and class been replaced by pomp and circumstance ?
Has participation been replaced by, talent and money ?
What about the kids today that are looking for a place to belong ?
Suppose they are not athletic.
Suppose they are not superior scholars.
Suppose they are not primo donna musicians.
Suppose they are looking for a place to belong.
Should we tell them to learn their part ?
You are welcome to be a member of our Drum & Bugle Corps.
I am thankful that in my youth, there was a drum & bugle corps on every corner.
Here are some men, that gave a kid like me, direction.

IS THERE NO ONE...TO STEP UP ?
