Thank you for starting and contributing content to the East Coast Jazz article. It's always nice to see more drum corps represented on Wikipedia. However, the article lacks an encyclopedic tone; it reads like a recruiting pamphlet for the corps. This is not the purpose of Wikipedia. Please consider taking a look at other drum corps articles on Wikipedia and revising the East Coast Jazz article to make it more encyclopedic. Thanks!—Lazytiger 19:03, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
