Hello IP family-

We hope that this finds each of you having enjoyed a wonderful summer! We have missed you tremendously...

Since 1995, The Interplay family has enjoyed 16 consecutive years of very successful and unforgettable operation...something that, along with so many amazing accomplishments and experiences during this "Wonderful Time," will always be close to our hearts.  Although all these fabulous accomplishments fill us with incredible pride, it is this life-long family and all of the once-in-a-lifetime memories created by this organization that stand out as being those things which have touched our hearts and lives most deeply, while filling us with immeasurable joy.

Sustaining such a wonderful organization year after year has always been extremely rewarding for all of us; but, at times, has also been quite taxing. Of course, it goes without saying, that we would not trade a moment of it for anything. Having said that, it is with very heavy hearts that we have decided that the time has come for Interplay to take a break in the 2010-2011 winterguard season.  After so many consecutive years, we find it necessary to take this much-needed opportunity to reflect on our history and evaluate the future and longevity of this great organization.  This has been an extremely difficult, and honestly, heart-breaking decision, which we have agonized over for a very long time.

Although we realize this will be difficult for all of us, we hope that you will understand this decision. We cannot thank all of the amazing members, alumni, parents, friends and staff for all of the wonderful support given to Interplay over these life-changing years, which have gleaned heart-warming memories and loving friendships that we know each of us will always treasure.

You will always be a part of the Interplay family...don't ever doubt in that...and know that we love you more than you can imagine for all the joy that you have brought into our lives...

As always, we hope to see each of you soon...and wish you the richest blessings that life has to offer...

Love always,

Derek and Bernie
