DCUK Taskforce
4th – 6th November 2005
Many thanks to everyone who has volunteered to take part in the Task Force and for the many more who have so far contributed ideas for discussion.
Due to an overwhelming response, it has not been possible to accommodate all those who volunteered to take part in the Task Force. The people listed below have been invited and agreed to attend, and DCUK are confident that the composition of the Task Force represents as wide a cross-section of the Drum Corps community as possible.
The suggestions for discussion items are also listed, in no particular order. However, the Task Force welcome more ideas and suggestions between now and November so that a wide-ranging and comprehensive review of the UK Drum Corps activity can take place.
Please be sure to post your ideas and suggestions on the
Task Force Forum
or email taskforce@dcuk.org.uk
