Dighton Rehoboth Marching Band First Annual FODRMB Golf Tournament
The Friends of the Dighton Rehoboth Marching Band announce the first annual FODRMB Golf Tournament to be held on September 30, 2013 at the beautiful Segregansett Country Club on Route 44 in Taunton. Registration begins at 11:00am with a Shotgun start at 1:00pm. FODRMB President Steven Grota says the group is looking forward to a fun event. “We’ve wanted to have a tournament for quite some time and have had many requests over the years. Thanks to an incredibly active and supportive group of parents we were able to make it happen this year.” stated Grota. The Dighton-Rehoboth High School Marching Band is completely selffunded and receives no financial support from the school district, and yet year after year receives tremendous accolades for its performances. The band is able to travel to away football games and perform their complete halftime show thanks to the volunteer efforts of parents and friends through various fundraising activities. The D-R Marching Band has built quite the reputation for delivering a show with fabulous props and special effects. Tournament organizer Anthony Grossi says the Segregansett Country Club is the perfect venue for the tournament. “Not only is the club perfectly situated near Dighton and Rehoboth, but it is a great course as well.” said Grossi. Founded in 1893, the club is one of the 100 oldest in America, and is the fifth oldest in Massachusetts. Grossi adds, “In order for a course to be around for as long as ‘Seggy’ has, it must have that perfect combination of challenging design and attention to conditions- and Seggy does an outstanding job. I’m really looking forward to spending a beautiful New England Autumn afternoon playing a great course, with great people for a great cause.” If you are interested in participating in this event or getting additional information, please log on to www.FriendsofDRMB.com or contact Anthony Grossi at a.grossi@ comcast.net.
