December Camp Huge Success
Anne Bragstad, Editor
 Hey Everyone!!
I hope the holidays are going well for you and that you are trying to remain stress free within the few more shopping days until Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanzaa, Festivus, Boxing Day or whatever you celebrate during the season.
The Renegades made it through the December Camp this past weekend and accomplished amazing things. The horn line has the full book in their hot little hands! The drum line cranked through the opener, and the pit through the first drum solo. Color guard had an even larger attendance than last camp!! Our writers this month will take you through their detailed views of the weekend’s rehearsals with stories you will love to hear.
The weekend was a hard weekend however, simply due to the fact that we lost our beloved baritone player, Eric Frolkey, Thanksgiving weekend. His love for music and drum corps made quite an impression on us in such a short time last season. He joined the Renegades in August to travel to DCA, after marching with River City Regiment during their season. But, the Renegades are a family, and being able to be there for each other is the only way to get through such a heart wrenching experience as this.
The Renegades have created the "Eric Frolkey Memorial Fund" to pay the 2004 tour and membership fees of Eric's sister who is in the Renegades' color guard (of which Eric was planning to pay), and will use the remainder to start a scholarship fund for Renegades who need financial assistance. Please stop by the website for a great photo and memories of our dear friend.
Take a sneek peek into the lives of the Renegades by looking through photos taken at camp!!
Mark your calendars to join us for the Chinese New Years’ Day Parade in February!!
See you next month!!
Seven,
