Alan Karls is a fourth-generation Racine native and was often in Horlick Athletic Field for high school football games, drum and bugle corps shows and semi-professional football games. A member of the Racine Scouts and the Boys of '76, his other drum and bugle corps credentials include instructor, judge and journalist. Steve Vickers has been intimately involved with drum and bugle corps activity for over fifty years, first as a marching member of the Hutchinson, Kansas Sky Ryders and, for the last forty years, as publisher of Drum Corps World. John Dickert has been mayor of Racine, Wisconsin, since 2009.
