Jointly hosted by the seven Midwest corps, instructors and administrators from the Blue Stars, Cavaliers, Colt Cadets, Colts, Madison Scouts, Phantom Regiment, and River City Rhythm will be on hand to make it a fun, educational introduction to the activity.

You Can Expect:

  • Instruction from some of the best brass, guard, percussion, and visual staff members in DCI
