longtime Drum Corps member, Noble Jack Goods. He
would like to have the Drum Corps attend as many of the circuses
as possible, which would also lift the spirits of our
potentate and Divan. They are trying to help our hospitalized
children lead a normal life like we do.
President Rick has many hats to wear this year. He will
also serve as a potentate’s aide, plus I am sure he will be anywhere
help is needed. His energy should be a guide for all of
us in the Drum Corps.
It is a known fact that Noble Rick and his executive will
make all efforts to support the captain and drum major in
making 2013 a super year for the few members left in the
Drum Corps.
There is a rumor that an old-time dinner and dance is in
the planning. We look forward to this nostalgia — it will
bring back memories. The dinner and dance will be for all
Shriners and as many friends as one can bring. Maybe we’ll
be lucky enough to get a few new members.
The Drum Corps looks forward to a great year. We have
a supportive potentate and Divan. Remember, we cannot
parade in the winter — summer is our only opportunity to
be visible to the public. The Drum Corps needs the public to
get members. If you care, let’s get out there at every opportunity.
We cannot get members if we hide our talents. Let’s
show everyone how good we were and still are with the few
members who are able. Noble Curtis is a good lead horn
player and as long as we have him and the other horn players
to give him the usual good support, we can maybe
attend several functions and circuses. We have to try and
make ourselves visible in as many events as possible, in
order to increase membership. When the demand lessens,

most of the senior Drum Corps veterans can then take it
easy and look back on the good work they have done in
bringing in new members. They would then be able to sit
back and proudly talk about their achievements, instead of
finding reasons why they should not attend.
The Drum Corps, as usual, looks forward to the future.
We hope our leaders will lead us all successfully during
future changes. Our absence does not make us good
Shriners.
