The Columbus Saints traveled to Whitewater, WI to compete at DCI SoundSport Whitewater at historic Perkins Stadium.

In our first long distance trip in many years, the Columbus Saints traveled to Whitewater with an overnight stop in Chicago, IL. The Saints visited Navy Pier, and spent the night and early morning at the Major Adams Community Center.

Chicago

Earlier this year, Major John Adams ; founder of the St. Andrews Hornet’s Drum & Bugle Corps passed away at the age of 94 leaving behind a legacy of community engagement, youth outreach, professionalism, and inspiring others to be successful as Marcus and Verdine White of Earth, Wind and Fire, and Mr. Marshall Cheatham; our founder and executive director. Being able to visit Chicago and Mr. Cheatham’s hometown and neighborhood was a unique experience for many of our members, and a chance to interact with residents of the West Side of Chicago.
