Emmaus Sentinels Alumni Corps
Borough of Emmaus, PA
We're back and better than ever!
Welcome to the Emmaus Sentinels Alumni Drum and Bugle Corps. The original Sentinels Drum and Bugle Corps started in the 1920s and ceased operations in the late 1970s. The Alumni corps
was reorganized to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Borough of
Emmaus, which was held on August. 15, 2009.
The corps is comprised of former members of the Sentinels, other area drum and bugle corps members and community band members. The corps has been practicing with 30 horns and 20 percussion instruments. We are always looking for
additional members. There are no membership fees necessary to participate in the Alumni Corps. The Corps will furnish all instruments and uniforms.
