A d i r o n d a c k Drums arrives in

Glens Falls. Presented by the

Fort Edward Lions Club, the competition is one of the most highly anticipated events of the summer season.

This year’s competition will feature the 2011 World Champions, The Cadets of Allentown, PA. “We’re very excited about The Cadets,” said Terry Johnston of the Lions Club. “They haven’t been here in a few years, so it’s a great chance to see the world champi-ons.”

Returning favorites include The Crossmen of San Antonio, TX, a group that has been a world finalist 20 times. Hailing from New London, CT, the 7th Regiment is familiar to the Glens Falls crowd, as are the Jersey Surf. One corps that hasn’t competed in the Adirondack Drums in many years, The Colts of Dubuque, IA, will take the field this year. Rounding out the competition is Teal Sound of Jacksonville, FL, which is known for its use of hard-rocking electric gui-tars.

“It’s a lot of fun,” said Johnston. He noted that 3,200 people enjoyed last year’s com-petition. Those attending are asked to bring a non-perishable food item to be donated to the Family Service Association of Glens Falls.

All seats are reserved seating for the competition. Tickets range from $19 to 22, but there is also a special Family Seating section where children under 17 can purchase a ticket for $6, and the accompanying adult’s ticket is only $12. Group tickets are also available.

Tickets can be purchased online at www.adirondack-drums.com, using Paypal or a credit card, or by calling 518-747-4342.

M u s i c a l . ” Featuring a tal-ented cast from The Rose Center Theater

of Westminster, California and sup-

plemented by some Capital Region performers, the produc-tion offers all the fun and romance one expects from the classic hero.

The show is based on mythic Robin Hood legends and backed by a lush musical score in the tradition of Rodgers and Hammerstein. A delightful musical adventure, the show combines all the action and adventure of 12th century England with the grand romance between Robin Hood and Maid Marian.

“Robin Hood” runs for one week only, playing at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, June 29 and 30, and at 2 p.m. on Sunday, July 1. The show is suitable for all ages.
