Goodbye, Good Friend
Disney World TripAs of the fall 2006 season, the Class of 2006 Drumline members have moved on to college. This, however, leaves this website in a precarious situation. Although we would like for MaterDeiDrumline.com to continue indefinitely, we admit that not everyone has the skills necessary to maintain a website like this. As of right now, the website will not be updated. It will stay in it's current form until the domain name MaterDeiDrumline.com expires in February. We are, however, trying to put together a solution that will allow it to continue. We have had fun keeping MaterDeiDrumline.com up over the past 3 years. Thanks to everyone who supported it with articles and pictures. You may always visit the Mater Dei High School website for information on Mater Dei and its award winning band.
