The Alliance Drum and Bugle Corps is an Open Class (formerly ''Class A'') drum and bugle corps based in Woodstock, Georgia. It is the regionally undefeated South Class A champion since 2005. It was founded in 2004 as a Drum and Bugle corps and is a member corps of Drum Corps Associates. Alliance was incorporated in the State of Georgia in August 2004 and was granted non-profit, 501 (c) (3) status in September. A board of directors was formed and incorporation articles/by-laws created and approved within a month. The founders of this organization are Terry Reilley, Shirley Smith, and Andy Ritchie. The Corps was organized with the intent to further music education while providing performers of all ages with an affordable drum corps experience. Non community-funded, the direction of The Alliance Drum and Bugle Corps is guided by volunteer parents and a professional teaching staff, who work closely with the young members. All instruments, instruction, and uniforms are provided to participants who pay an annual participation fee. ==History== ALLIANCE held its first full rehearsal in January 2005, with an attendance of nearly 75 people. The corps performed in their first competitive field show only seven months later and captured the first place Class A title. A month later, the corps was crowned the 2005 DCA South Class A champion – and has remained undefeated in this region since. In the largest and most fierce Class A competition in DCA history at that time, Alliance placed third with a final score of 77.450 at the 2005 World Championships in Scranton, Pennsylvania winning high caption awards for Visual and General Effect as well. The corps finished within a point of the 1st place winner that season. In subsequent seasons, the corps grew in size and financial strength, while continuing to develop high-energy programs that are attractive to today’s youthful performer. In 2007, Alliance partnered with (Atlanta Quest ), a WGI indoor percussion ensemble based in Marietta, Georgia and the Screamin' Eagle Marching Band from Reinhardt University in 2014. These partnerships are based on shared resources, such as instructional personnel, physical assets, and performers. ALLIANCE declared themselves inactive in the 2012 and 2013 seasons to re-focus their efforts on building a stronger program. The corps is now active for 2014 and will compete in DCA Open Class competition, with their first show being in Fayetteville, NC on Saturday, July 19th. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alliance Drum and Bugle Corps」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
