Jaybird Day
Jaybird Day is an annual event to honor our “old-timers.” Held at The Company headquarters and museum on the first Saturday in October, it is one of our most popular events.
The day starts with coffee and donuts as friends from all over gather to renew acquaintances. At noon the jam session starts with plenty of food and beverages available to keep everyone’s strength up.
Friends pay tribute to this year’s Honored JavbirdsAround 3:00 the crowd moves into The Company meeting hall where tribute is paid to this year’s Honored Jaybirds and door prizes are awarded. Then, more jamming until a buffet supper is served in the early evening.
This is a great social occasion and an opportunity to thank our old-timers for their contribution to drum corps over the years.
Remember…this is a day for the old-timers. Please, no young children!
The complete list of all Honoured Jaybirds is now available.
