THE ELITE SPORT
OF MARCHING BAND
Like a travel or club sports team, we recruit top talent from across the country — young performers ages 16–21 who are ready to take their artistry and athleticism to the highest level.
THE SEASON
A SUMMER UNLIKE ANY OTHER
Our season begins with fall auditions, followed by four to five rehearsal camp weekends through winter and spring. In early June, performers move in full-time and don’t return home until the second Sunday of August — the conclusion of the World Championships presented by Drum Corps International (DCI), our league’s national sanctioning body.
The summer includes full-time spring training (where we stage our field show production) and a five-week national performance tour featuring 20+ competitive events across the United States — performing for tens of thousands of fans along the way in some of the world’s most iconic stadiums.
AUDITIONS
THINK YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES?
Come find out. Auditions are open to any performer ages 16–21. We’re not just looking for the most advanced performers — we’re looking for coachable, committed performers who are hungry to grow. Nearly half of our members are first-year performers. The only way to know if you’re ready is to show up.
