27th Lancers

Happy Independence Day! To all our 27th Lancers whom have served in any capacity in our armed services, THANK YOU! Thank you for the freedom you have fought for us to enjoy! God Bless you!

It was with great sadness to announce the loss of Millie Covitz, mother of our members;Stephen: marched in 27th Lancers drumline 1969-1973, Taught rifle line 1974-1978, wrote drill a couple of years between 1977-1985 Gary Covitz, who marched snare 1969-1975, and taught the drum line from 1977-1985; Susan Covitz, who marched Color Guard 1974-1980; and Cheryl Covitz who marched Color Guard from 1977-1982. There will be a graveside ceremony on July 10, 2009. More details will be announced as we receive them. The 27th Lancers family and alumni would like to extend our deepest condolences to the Covitz family.

Steve Vickers and Drumcorpsworld.com has released a new DVD that contains eight of the 12 finalists from the first DCI Championships in Whitewater back on August 18, 1972. Of course, the 27th Lancers are included. Here is the link to order.

The 27th Lancers database is here!

We have been working for along time for a safe way to have every ones e-mail addresses accessible to Lancers only.

The link below will take you to this separate website, which is still operated by us and Corpsdata. 27thLancers.net will still be your place for news and history!

Please take a look at this Corpsdata website, as a recent computer crash lost many of your e-mail addresses, and many of you will need to update your information . You have the option of putting in as much or as little information that you want to be known about yourself. This will be a safe place for your info as far as spammers are concerned. If you are not yet in the database, click on http://trigonroad.com/cd/ and get started. Do it. Do it now! You will have to submit your own email and a password for your protection. If you have any questions feel free to contact them.

This is a very exciting way for us all to stay together. Think of it as a "Myspace" for Lancers only. It is run by our friends from the Madison Scouts, who have set us up with this wonderful database program. Many other corps are using this site to stay in touch as well.

We wish to thank our own alumni Corey Smith and from Madison Scouts, Wayne Reynolds and our friends from http://www.madisonscouts.org/ for making this possible.

For a great place to check out some history, in the form of film of the 27th Lancers, go to http://www.beanman.net/. That site has been set up by our own Alumni Steve Groh! Thanks Steve for the wonderful work!

The new webmaster address is: The27thLancers@yahoo.com

The download page is here with MP3's of Lancer shows!
