Aging out with Pioneer!
This is my final summer with Pioneer, and DCI in general. Without the help of sponsors this season would not be possible. You can roam around here and see what goes on over the summer, and you can even get a bit of a feel for the kind of person I am. If possible, you can donate to one of the links below, or just spread the word!
If you would like to donate, please get in touch with me at Jameschilders09@gmail.com. I would absolutely love to hear from you!

Marching Arts Photography: If I had a million dollars... →
If I was crazy wealthy, I would use my money to reactivate one of the historic all female corps. Given the current economics of DCI, I don’t think we’ll ever get the chance to see an all female corps compete (Open, World Class or even DCA) and that makes me sad. Even…
There used to be an all female corps. The corps was stationed in Canada. The Corps director came to our 50th anniversary campfire on the night we got our shamrocks. They were the Bandettes and lasted from 1963 - 2004. I do believe we (pioneer) had a lot of their old equipment…

Trying to keep things a bit more equal! Let me know if I’ve forgotten any female DCI drum majors.

What’s goin’ on?
So Honestly, If you see some things pop up here in random orders here’s why. I’m going to try as much as possible to match pictures and videos to the correct date from this past summer. When, or if I go back this summer I WILL have a laptop with me the whole season and I will be continuously updating from day to day with pictures and videos. I think it’ll be a cool experience to blog through the full 80 days of tour. If you’re following me already, there will be more videos coming soon, along with pictures, so don’t forget to check the timeline!
