The 2012 Drum Corps International Competition promises to be an exciting show featuring eight of the best drum corps in America, including five of the top twelve. The corps will be at their peak performance levels just days before the world championships. Precision formations of high-stepping marchers and vibrantly colored costumes are sure to thrill music fans of all ages.
This popular event sponsored by the Enshrinement Festival in partnership with the Canton Bluecoats Drum and Bugle Corps will be held at Massillon Paul Brown Tiger Stadium. Competing against Canton’s own Bluecoats are some of the nation’s top-ranked corps, including (in alphabetical order): The Academy from Tempe, AZ; Blue Knights from Denver, CO; Boston Crusaders from Boston, MA; The Cadets from Allentown, PA; Pacific Crest from Diamond Bar, CA; Phantom Regiment from Rockford, IL; and Pioneer from Milwaukee, WI.
After winning the 2009 show for the first time in 21 years, Bluecoats again took first place at the 2010 Enshrinement Festival competition. Unfortunately, inclement weather including rain and lightening interrupted the 2011 show after fives corps had performed resulting in no official scoring.
