As you know, we had several equipment issues over the summer. The worst of which was the breakdown of our equipment truck in West Virginia. This is where Shenandoah came to the rescue. After deciding not to bring the truck back to Florida, we asked Shenandoah if they would accept our truck as a donation; to do with it as they please. They graciously accepted our offer. They also agreed to bring our trailer to Senoia, Ga. It is with the kindness and generosity of Shenandoah Sound that we have our trailer back in Florida. We thank you Shenandoah Sound. Best of luck at Prelims! - Our final thought (a la Jerry Springer) - We leave with these fine pics of our Corps Director, Paul McLemore getting his just due from members of the drumline. They know how to bring an arctic blast to a hot rehearsal day. Thank you to all of our friends and family for this successful 2010 season. It is not over yet. The best is yet to come! text/html 2010-08-04T18:59:18+01:00 http://sundevilscorps.org http://sundevilscorps.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=73&Itemid=45 http://yoursun.com/sunnews/englewood/1296234-281/sunnewspaperssundevilsindesperateneedoftruck.html.csp (http://yoursun.com/sunnews/englewood/1296234-281/sunnewspaperssundevilsindesperateneedoftruck.html.csp) text/html 2010-07-29T07:04:30+01:00 http://sundevilscorps.org http://sundevilscorps.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=72&Itemid=45 After a journey of 2600 miles, over 80 hours on the road, multiple tornado warnings and 1 broken equipment truck, the Sun Devils have returned from Jamestown, New York with the highest score in corps history. After besting their ending score from the 2009 season by over 4 points at their first judged contest of this season, the corps will spend the next weekend cleaning and making changes to the show before returning to the competition field in Woodstock, Georgia on August 7th. While the weekend was an overall success and had members and staff hungry to hit the rehearsal field, the corps did suffer a serious setback that could impact its ability to get to the remaining shows on the schedule. Somewhere in West Virginia, the Sun Devils venerable equipment truck, affectionately known as “Old Yeller”, suffered serious engine trouble and had to be abandoned and rental vehicles obtained in order to get the equipment home. The corps is eternally grateful to our intrepid truck driving crew of executive director John Hoekstra and corps photographer Mark Scott, who endured a marathon weekend with little sleep and a downpour while transferring the equipment from one truck to the other. The corps is actively seeking someone with a vehicle capable of towing a 26’ equipment trailer to assist the corps in traveling to the remaining shows on the schedule. Please contact executive director John Hoekstra if you can be of assistance or have any information that may help.
