Legend has it that business partners Tony LeLateur and Ken Meredith decided to form a drum corps in western Washington in January, 2004. In late June of that same year, a 64-member corps fielded for exhibition, pulled from local band programs. In LeLateur's words, they not only brought a corps into existence, they brought it into the open in the same year.
From the corps' mission statement: "The mission of the [Spokane Drum Corps] Association is to develop musical skills and entertaining programs and a healthy, safe atmosphere for young people. Its members are not only given the very best instruction but also directed to know and practice values which support family, church, school and community. The Association hopes that these programs will grow and continue over the years and that they will embrace any young person in our area interested in learning and growing in the skills and values we espouse."
Drill teams are more popular than color guards in western Washington, so Thunder is waiting to develop a guard.
