Discover your place in the Saints community.

We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to experience the thrill of drum corps. That’s why we’ve created a welcoming environment where musicians of all ages and skill levels can grow and thrive.

There’s no audition to join our community. Instead, we focus on getting to know you and your musical goals. Through participation and practice, we’ll work together to find your perfect role within the corps. Whether you’re a seasoned performer or just starting your musical journey, we’re here to support your growth and help you create unforgettable memories.

How It Works:

From experienced performers like DCI age outs, and former high school or college band students down to beginners, our program is structured to enable varied skill levels to contribute to the performance in a way that’s capable at your level.

For experienced performers, we are able to design the show to feature you skills, create a challenge, and boost your abilities. If you are a beginner we specially design our music, and show to enable you to build skills at your level to grow.

This includes specialized parts ranging from complex 1st parts down to beginner friendly 3rd or 4th parts in the brass and front ensemble; skill adjusted guard work that’s at your level, or specific instruments in the drumline that enable to you find success and build experience.
