THE REUNION (7th February 2009)

WOW!!!! What can I say… Just an incredible evening, to see so many ex members and supporters of the Dagenham Crusaders after all these years , last night was just fantastic. I would like to thank each and every one of you for coming and making the night such a great success, I hope you all enjoyed it.

I would like to thank Dexter for being Dexter the linch pin and for his speech last night and I would like to add - Mr Johnson if you are up there your Crusader family love and respect you so much, you have created something truly wonderful.

The Dagenham Crusader spirit lives on. (Bring on the Alumni 2009)

Once a Crusader ALWAYS a Crusader!!!!!!

Plans are underway for the Dagenham Crusaders Drum & Bugle Corps to field an Alumni/ Reunion corps for DCUK's 30th anniversary at the 2009 British Drum Corps Championships.

The organisers therefore call on all ex members who would wish to be part of this project to get in touch. There will also be opportunities for any ex marching members of any corps or marching band to be part of this once great corps. "We are looking to start rehearsals in February, initially twice monthly for a few hours at weekends", Joe Osborn and Dexter Roberts explained. "We are currently in negotiations with a school in Upminster, Essex with regards rehearsal facilities."

There is to be a full Corps reunion on the 7th February 2009 at Sacred Heart of Mary School, 70 St Mary's Lane, Upminster, Essex, RM14 2QR. 7pm - 11.30pm. Tickets are £5 each and will need to be booked and paid for in advance (tickets will not be available on the door).

If there are any corps or individuals out there that can help with instruments please get in touch as this will be a major factor as to whether this project is a success or not. "We would also like to wish Gary Wells and the Green Lancers the very best in their plans for 2009 and beyond, it would give us great pleasure to stand on the same field again with the Mighty Lancers", Osborn and Roberts said.

Please contact either Joe Osborn on 07946 589865 or Dexter Roberts on email dagcrusaders09@yahoo.co.uk.
