A Remarkable Year |

Winterguard & Saints Indoor Percussion

This year, we embarked on a new and exciting venture with the formation of our indoor percussion ensemble. This talented group of musicians quickly established themselves as a force to be reckoned with, earning first place in their class at the Mid-Eastern Percussion Association (MEPA) Championships. This impressive achievement marked a significant step forward in our organization’s growth and diversification.

Our Winterguard continued to shine, capturing the first-place trophy in their class at the MEPA Championships. Their artistry, precision, and dedication to their craft were evident in every performance, captivating audiences and earning them well-deserved recognition.

Drum Corps

On the drum corps front, we achieved a historic milestone by securing our highest-ever score of 72.20 at the Drum Corps Associates (DCA) World Championships. This remarkable feat is a testament to the exceptional talent, dedication, and unwavering commitment of our corps members. Their passion for music and movement has taken us to new heights, and we are incredibly proud of their accomplishments.

In addition to our competitive achievements, we were also thrilled to unveil our brand-new uniforms for the first time in corps history. These stylish and modern uniforms reflect our commitment to excellence and innovation, and they have been met with overwhelming enthusiasm from our corps members and fans alike.

Our organization was also fortunate to receive two major donations that will have a profound impact on our future. Pipe Valves Inc generously gifted us a new Marimba, which will provide our percussionists with an exceptional instrument to hone their skills and produce exceptional performances. Additionally, the Capital Regiment Drum & Bugle Corps donated a complete world-class drumline, a significant acquisition that will further elevate the caliber of our music.

Home Show & Golf Tournament

We also hosted our own drum corps show called Saints Showcase, welcoming so many of our Saints family, friends, and fans as well as all of Ohio’s all-age DCA corps. This event was a resounding success, attracting a great audience and showcasing the breadth of talent and artistry within our organization. To further support our programs and initiatives, we held our first annual Golf Tournament, which generated valuable funds and brought together supporters from across the community. We are grateful for the overwhelming response to this event and look forward to making it a tradition in the years to come.

As we look towards the future, we are filled with ambition and excitement for the next chapter in our journey. Your continued support will be crucial as we strive to surpass our previous achievements, expand our outreach initiatives, and elevate our performances to even greater heights.

Thank you for being an integral part of our drum corps family. Your generosity and unwavering belief in our mission have made a world of difference in the lives of our corps members and the communities we serve. We are deeply grateful for your partnership and look forward to sharing many more successes with you in the years to come.
