Carolina Crown Drum & Bugle Corps

For those not familiar with a drum corps, the performers are a group of kids ages 13 – 21 who take their summers and travel all across the country competing in a series of competitions that are equivalent to a marching band’s halftime show on steroids.
Carolina Crown was formed in Charlotte over 20 years ago and has quickly bolted into drum corps Elite!
In 2009 they placed 2^nd which was their highest placement ever, only beaten by California’s Concord Blue Devils.
Crown is one of most admired and respected drum corps around. Their shows are often entertaining, humorous and innovative.
It is also one of the better organized corps as far as the staff goes.
If you haven’t done so already, go see one their shows. They usually host two local shows in the summers.
