 Drum Corps (truly) International
What started years ago as a small competitive group of local bands and instrumentalists have grown to a proud organization whose accomplishments, achievements, and fan base reaches all over the globe. While the fans may range from many different nationalities, the members themselves (for mostly financial and geographical reasons) are predominantly from North America – although currently DCI does boast members from 15 countries. As current affiliates join each other to prepare for another exciting season of music’s major league, I wondered, as a current expatriate, what are the opportunities for musicians around the world to be a part of a similar organization? With technology, the world is shrinking every day, and participation in activities like music especially helps bring people together. Recently, I was watching the local news and there was a story about drumming in the desert.

Alumni, members, friends, family and fans are invited to enjoy themselves and the corps as our guests. We especially encourage current members to bring their folks (parents, grandparents, significant others, etc), so they can acquaint themselves with Spirit, and know their young people are in good hands for the summer.

For the first time in 18 years, the town’s Independence Day parade next month will feature 10 drum and bugle corps, youth groups, politicians and civic, fraternal, veterans and service organizations.
“I want a parade to add to the town’s 35th annual Independence Day celebration this year, and it appears that we’re well on our way due to the hard work of a parade committee working with the Braintree Friends of the 4th Committee,” Mayor Joseph Sullivan said.
Former drum corps veterans John Robinson and John Grandy are the parade’s co-chairmen.
