Press Release Summary: The National Portable Storage Association\'s member companies
are helping one of the nation\'s best marching bands keep step with storage needs.


Press Release Body: KANSAS CITY, MO. (Nov. 2, 2007) - You\'ve heard about the saints
marching in, but what about the Blue Devils? The Blue Devils, a marching band from
Concorde, Calif., has won 11 world championship titles. Roughly 400 students
participate in the dynamic band each year. Each member wields an instrument at
sporting and other events as they entertain jubilant crowds. Portable storage
containers are a vital part of the Drum & Bugle Corp\'s team effort.

\"Containers have saved us money - for a nonprofit that\'s really important - and
helped us increase efficiency because our staff doesn\'t have to run around town to
all the different places where we were trying to store things,\" said Brett Rios,
director of operations for the Blue Devils Drum Corp., which is celebrating its 50th
anniversary this year. \"Nonprofits have to look for ways to be efficient and cut
costs and portable storage has allowed us to do both.\"

The Blue Devils have painted their portable storage containers to match the color of
their building, which is a popular way to appease communities that may prefer to see
new buildings on the property that generate tax revenue than large steel boxes that
don\'t. Nonprofit organizations that meet with community resistance to putting
portable storage containers on site, Rios suggests, could explain to the appropriate
city officials that portable storage helps the organization help the community.

\"Portable storage containers are vital to organizations like the Blue Devils. With
so many different working parts in a marching band, it only makes sense to store
everything in one location,\" said John Finnessy, CMP, Executive Director the
National Portable Storage Association, or NPSA, a nonprofit membership association
dedicated to the advancement of the portable storage industry. \"We are proud that
our industry can help one of the world\'s most successful drum corps spend more time
practicing their award-winning routine than organizing equipment storage.\"
