Led by retired high school band director and military musician Robert Menear, the MVAA Legends Drum and Bugle Corps is designed for individuals who are passionate about music but have active schedules. Unlike traditional drum and bugle corps, Legends will function solely as a concert corps, offering a unique performance experience in a supportive and accessible environment.
One of the standout features of Legends is its no-cost participation model. There are no registration fees or membership dues, making this an affordable opportunity for musicians of all ages. “You won’t have to pay ‘thousands’ of dollars like most corps require,” said Menear. “We want to make this opportunity available to as many people as possible while delivering a high-quality musical experience.”
MVAA Legends Drum and Bugle Corps is equipped with instruments and boasts a capable and experienced instructional team. Interested individuals are encouraged to bring their mouthpieces or sticks to the open house to see what the corps offers firsthand.
“Already, we’ve seen considerable interest even without advertising,” said Menear. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to join a group poised to make an extraordinary impact in the region. We would love to welcome you to this exciting new endeavor.”
Weather permitting, the open house will take place as scheduled. Interested participants are asked to RSVP in advance to ensure proper equipment preparation and to provide contact information in case of inclement weather.
For more information or to RSVP, please get in touch with Robert Menear at 724-998-7614 or Trptbob@yahoo.com.
