2015 Thunder Brigade Open House and Winter Camp a Success

Thunder Brigade recently hosted an open house and a winter camp at Watkins Mill High School in Gaithersburg, MD. With a strong showing of returning vets and several new faces the corps is well on its way to competing in A class competition in 2015.
