The Irish Athletic Arts flew the Druids Drum & Bugle Corps to their first show at the Silver Sound Pre-Season competition. The Druids have been bumped up to their classic Div. II position for this Season, and finished 2nd of two with a sore of 52.270, two points ahead of themselves from the same time last Season.

"Even though we're starting 16th, I am already proud of them," says director Douglas Orsborn. "We are already leagues ahead of last Season... I cannot wait to see where this show takes us!"

The Shamrock Marching Band won't see it's first show till Oct. 1st at the Arctic Invitational, an event that is heavily anticipated by the folks back in Ireland. The event will be specifically covered by the Irish Channel 19 News team. Stay tuned in for the FMADC News Review team to cover their first Season 3 event in the near future!

Also, the TIAA is proud to announce the formation of the Sailor Indoor Percussion group by Druids Drumline alumni. The group will be in it's first Season, and unlike the Shamrocks being the feeder for the Druids, alumni from both the Shamrocks and Druids will feed into this all-age group of competitive drummers!
