Texas' premier Arena Drum and Bugle Corps is now accepting applications for the following Staff positions for the 2010 Season:

All positions in 2010 are voluntary and compensation is our undying gratitude, the rare opportunity to influence the style and direction of a new performance ensemble and to be part of the development of a new form of the art of Drum Corps. To apply, please send email to Director@42corps.org.

The Frontier Performing Arts Association would like to announce the introduction of a new Corps in the Dallas - Fort Worth Metroplex.

For 2010, the corps will be joining the Small Drum Corps Association, and performing as an Arena Drum Corps, a recent devlopment in the art of Drum Corps. Arena corps rehearse and perform indoors, usually on basketball courts but they also perform anywhere a field corps can.

But without the Texas summer heat and humidity.

FPAA will also be working to develop a state-wide competition circuit for Arena Drum Corps in Texas, and yes, we will be glad to include corps from other states - it wouldn't be Texas if we weren't neighborly.

We held an interest meeting on Saturday, September 26th. Notes from the meeting are available on the Corps website.

It's hot in the South. 42 and FPAA are looking to make it hotter. Ya'll come on down!
