About
CrownONE is an initiative designed to improve accessibility to live performing arts and inspire the next generation. Through this program, middle school students and families can sign up to receive complimentary tickets to Crown-hosted drum corps events.
What is Drum Corps?
Drum corps is a dynamic and competitive performing art that combines live music, choreographed movement, and visual storytelling into a high-energy field production. Drum corps’ consist of brass musicians, percussionists, and color guard performers. Each summer, these groups dedicate themselves to rigorous rehearsals and embark on a 2-month national tour, competing against one another at multiple events across the country. Drum Corps International (DCI), Marching Music’s Major League™, is the circuit for the activity.
