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 enjoyable events of the year.

What is Jaybird Day Like?
The day typically progresses as follows:
- Registration begins at 10:30 with coffee and refreshments available
- Lunch will be served at 12:30
- Around 1:00 p.m. we will pay tribute to this year's Honored Jaybirds
- After all the honoring is completed door prizes are awarded, there will be a 50/50 raffle, and finally a jam session and all around good time!
This is a great social occasion and an opportunity to thank our old-timers for their contribution to drum corps over the years.
This event is free to all over 60; there is a suggested $10.00 fee for each youngster attending.
