Changes at Black Knights

New Director for BK
After three years of running without a corps director Black Knights are pleased to announce that the Directorship of the corps was offered to, and accepted by, Ken Mansfield. Ken has been part of the marching band and drum corps scene since he joined Thurrock Drum and Trumpet Corps in October 1973. Ken, well known for his role within the Academy colourguard, has been registered with a marching organisation every year since that first one in ‘73. Ken’s years of experience in marching, teaching, judging and running drum corps and colourguards will stand him in good stead for the task ahead. Ken’s role will be one that will see him take control of all elements of the Black Knights organisation. The Black Knight organisation is excited at this appointment and is looking forward to the future with anticipation.
