New Milford, Ct.

I was a drummer with the Hatters when I was 10 years old. I am now 67 and I still play drums with a band called Shoe Fly Blues. I will never forget the feeling I got when the Hatters marched onto a competition field and began Onward Christian Soldiers to a roaring crowd. I will NEVER forget! I have pictures and will supply them to the site ASAP! Thanks-Butch

Retired from the Army Band have been playing drums from 1964 to present. Play in three bands and teach out of my drum studio. When I was under 21 I was drumming in Youth Bands and Drum and Bugle Corps on the West coast.

i currently am in the danbury drum corps. This is my 11th parade season with the corps. My family has been associated with drum corps for over 30 years. Great website showing the history of the drum corps. Can't wait to see more! Keep up the good work

Danbury Ct.

Drum Corps has always been special in our lives. The history of the Hatters Drum Corps is very important and needs to be told. What a great web site this will be to honor all those who marched with great pride down so many Main Streets to entertain those who came. We are looking forward to seeing this site grow as pictures and articles are added.
