Sie Lurye Memorial Sponsorship Grant
New this year is the addition Sie Lurye Memorial Sponsorship Grant. The "Sie" is to be an annual award of $500.00 minimum, and is
open to any junior drum corps participant in the USA with a financial need regardless of position marched.
Sie Lurye believed that every child deserves the opportunity to develop his/her promise and potential, and that one caring individual could make that
difference. His was a heart that beat not only for "His" kids and corps, but Drum Corps itself. Today the Royal Airs and the Lurye family carry on the
Royal Air tradition of giving back to the community, and following the credo of "Faith, Honour, and Humility" set down by this generous selfless man by
establishing the Sie Lurye Memorial Sponsorship Grant in his name.
