Americanos set to return to field in 2006
The Americanos from Menasha - Wisconsin, are ready to return to the field of competition for their 70th Anniversary. Founded in 1936 as the Sons of the American Legion, the Americanos are one of America's oldest drum corps still in existence.
The Americanos organization has made many sacrifices through the years to preserve the history as well as to ensure the future of this great drum corps, including the painful decision of ceasing corps operations for 2005. After a much-needed season away from competition the corps and the organization have been able to create a more secure financial base from which to operate.
The 2006 Americanos will be under the leadership of Linnie Rose, who has been retained as corps director from 2005. Throughout the summer months, Rose has been working diligently, putting together a high-caliber educational staff and an extremely aggressive recruiting campaign.
The goals set by Rose and the board of directors are to participate in Drum Corps International Central Division and Drum Corps International Division II/III competitions with a corps of no less than 80 members. The Americanos will once again continue their tradition of performing a Latin-themed show, but with an exciting new look.
