Phantom Knights celebrate 10th anniversary

In order to mark the 10th anniversary, the Phantom Knights from
Nuneaton are arranging a big anniversary party. This event will give
anybody who has been involved with the corps a chance to reminisce on
the past and also see what the Corp is currently doing.
The party will be held on the 14th October 2006 at the Co-Op Sports
Club in Nuneaton. There will be food, music, memorabilia and (for those
old enough) a bar. Admission will be by ticket only, which must be
purchased before the event. As the Phantom Knights expect a high
attendance, people who have marched or been part of the staff line will
have first refusal on tickets. More information can be found on www.phantom-knights.com.
On the 8th October 1996 Phantom Knights was officially born. A small
management committee had spent many days and nights preparing for the
event, which was a quiet affair with over 40 girls and boys from
Nuneaton, Coventry and Atherstone signing up for the first years
membership.
The following months were spent rehearsing music specially arranged by
their then musical director, Dave Green (a veteran of the marching
corps scene) and a show designed by Salv Marziano. The Phantom Knights
took the British marching world by storm, winning all their
competitions in the summer of 1997.
