GNODCA’s FY2021 BOARD ELECTIONS RESULTS
The GNODCA Annual Business Meeting was virtually held on October 15, 2020. Two Board Member's (Cheryl Gautreaux & Gail Perrin) terms expired and they were re-elected for another 3-year term.
Most of our Board Meetings in 2020 had to be held virtually due to COVID-19 restrictions. We expect those restrictions will continue for much of 2021. At the first Board Meeting for FY2021 on November 12, 2020, the FY2021 Executive Board was elected. :
President - Elroy Ingersoll
Treasurer - Mark Manguno
Secretary - Babette Staunton
Other Board Members: David Callaway, Cheryl Gautreaux and Gail Perrin
Especially during this COVID-19 pandemic, we wish you, your families and your friends health & safety.

THE CRESCENT CITY COLOR GUARD SHUTDOWN IN THEIR RETURN 2020 SEASON
The Crescent City Color Guard started strong for their returning 2020 Color Guard competition season! The Crescent City Color Guard (CCCG) had done a lot of work on their 2020 show and had a good start in the competition season when the COVID-19 Pandemic hit our area. The color guard circuits decided the responsible thing was to shut down the season and protect all of our kids and hard working volunteers, directors, show personnel & fans. Although it was a heart breaking decision to our CCCG Directors and members, it was the right thing to do.
We congratulate the CCCG for all they accomplished this year! And we all look forward to next season, if health conditions allow.
The CCCG is sponsored by the Greater New Orleans Drum Corps Association (GNODCA).
