Take The Field
For membership within the Saints, you must sign-up, and attend a rehearsal to meet the corps, check out the program and find your placement with the corps.
We will work with you whether you’re a seasoned performer or a beginner to become a strong member, mentor, and friend.
To be a Saint you must be willing to stand tall and firm at all times!
Learn, Travel, Compete
The Saints compete in both Drum Corps International and Drum Corps Associates , and perform at community events throughout the season, performing about 20 times each years.
Our rehearsals, competitions and performances are scheduled with working members and families in mind. You can experience drum corps on the weekends (Fri-Sun), with select summer performances taking place on a weekday.
The majority of events are in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Indiana, culminating in Rochester, NY at Drum Corps Associates World Championships over Labor Day weekend.

Without the Saints I would never have been able to gain the skill & experience to help me march WGI and more. It’s a family that challenges you while having fun, with a cost that allows anyone to participate.

After completing my undergrad, I realized I missed the marching band; the camaraderie and joy of performing. I’ve found both with the Saints, and I’m excited to be part of the family.

…since my grandson has joined the Saints, it’s helped him focus, do better in school, and has exposed him to opportunities for travel, performance and education he never had before.

The Saints gave me the chance to meet new people & make amazing friends, gain valuable skills needed to excel in marching band, and the training to be successful in numerous WGI guards. I love my Saints family!
