What do you need?
This is a full-weekend camp session. You are asked to sleep at the Boys Club Friday and Saturday night. If you have school functions and need to leave camp at any time, we must be informed so we can keep track of who is with us at all times throughout the weekend.
Battery and Front Ensemble Members – Camp for all percussion members starts Saturday morning at 8AM for registration. You are welcome to sleep at the Boys Club Friday night if that makes travelling easier for you, however, there is no percussion practice time Friday night.

SPARTANS 2010
The Spartans Drum and Bugle Corps of Nashua, NH will be presenting their 2010 show titled “Fire Dances” featuring the music of Robert Smith and Key Poulan.
The Corps’ repertoire will include the “Inferno” by Robert Smith and then head into the powerful “Inferno Di Dante” by Key Poulan. Musical selections will be filled with the Corps’ dark sound and exciting visual elements.
“The Inferno” by Robert Smith has historical significance for the Spartans (performed by the corps in 2003) and was brought into the design process as a return to the tradition of the Corps’ past. “Inferno Di Dante” is powerful and fast moving, symbolizing exactly where the Corps intends to go upon entering the upcoming competitive season.
The Spartans will be lead on the field by Drum Major Jamie Fortier and Color Guard Captain Katie Racki. Corps Director Richard Rigolini states, “The goals for the 2010 corps are to re-establish the brilliance and excellence that is The Spartans and to welcome a new group of young people into the tradition of Respect, Responsibility and Commitment.”
