Rangers Move Memorial Contest From Guiteras Field
The Bristol Rangers Drum and Bugle Corps will hold its third annual memorial competition in Warren on Sunday, Aug. 27 after being denied use of the concession at Guiteras Field by the Bristol Boy Scouts Parents' Committee. President Anthony A Balzano says the refusal stems from a no sublet clause and lack of prior school committee consent, forcing the corps to seek an alternate site and proposing a $25 concession payment.
