Springfield, Missouri's Kilted Female Drum and Bugle Corps

[Blu (Ontario)]

I'm wondering if a forum such as this would be a focal point for those with a particular interest in all female drum and bugle groups.

Not that such an entity isn't of interest to people, or fun to watch.... but are there perhaps other venues where a more issue specific response might be forthcoming.?

Start with word of mouth. But, of course, get thousands of voices warbling in those mouths and a raging success may come soon along! Naturally, if even the least negative toned voice arises, point it immediately toward xmts. We'll bring 'em through to a new, heightened awareness in the most positive way possible.

First of all, welcome tp Xmarks. WE don't have many Drum and Bugle corps here in Va, but a Kilted group would be something to see. Some of the other members here can correct me if I'm wrong, or maybe provide a link, but I believe there is a site on the net where you could set up an online petetion. I think something like that was done in the Nathan Warmack case. Do that if possible, then post details in local supermarkets and such. Then, maybe ask for permission to either have paper petitions, or hand out flyers at the local high school football and basketball games. Good luck in your quest.

Matthew,

Please contact me via private message or e-mail. I am an officer in the Scottish St. Andrew's Society of Springfield, and we have worked with both the Central High School Kilties and the Hillcrest High School Highlanders in the past -- in fact, the Kilties were the honoured guests at the SW Missouri Celtic Festival & Highland Games this year in Buffalo, and the Kilties were made honourary members of our Society, since 2006 is the 80th anniversary of their first public performance on the Springfield Pubic Square.

Regards,

My appoligies, I didn't join this group just to talk about drum and bugle corps... as a matter of fact what I posted about is the only thing I'm interested in in that particular area. I own a belted plaid and am looking at (when I have the money in a month) purchasing another kilt (just a 4 yard).
This particular topic is the first thing that popped into my head to talk about and I figured that since it was kilt related it would fit here... at the time I didn't really feel that it would fit in the "Off Topic." If anyone deems this thread to be better suited to the "Off Topic" forum, please be my guest to have it moved. I'm very new here and am still learning what exactly fits where.

Matthew,

Given the Kilties history, and since their founder, R. Ritchie Robertson, was a Scottish immigrant (frae Glesca, I believe), I would say your post is germane to the forum -- especially since I've talked about the Kilties and the other Springfield Drum & Bugle Corps before -- and several of the groups had pipers at one time tae boot!

Cheers,

Todd
