CAPITAL REGIMENT

 “Climbing Everest”

Founded in 1992, Capital Regiment took its time in developing the whole organization’s base to aid in the efforts of being able to keep the corps around for many years. Additionally, it was determined that in establishing a solid foundation, the corps would be able to provide the members with the kind of experience it wanted to provide.

The premier season for Capital Regiment was in 1999. Since then, the corps has experienced remarkable growth. Now in its fourth year of active participation, the organization sees a very strong future for the corps. It is with great pride that the entire Capital Regiment organization is able to be a part of this incredible activity and provide young people the opportunity to experience drum corps.
