    About the Show

 

The DCM competition, the first to be held in the Southwest Chicago Suburbs, will feature Drum Corps from all over the Midwest region. Scheduled to participate are, the Colts from Dubuque, IA; The Cavaliers from Rosemont, IL; the Capital Regiment from Columbus, OH; Blue Stars from LaCrosse, WI; Marion Glory Cadets from Marion, OH; the Colt Cadets from Dubuque, IA; and the Kingsmen from Joliet, IL.

Drum Corps Midwest is an organization dedicated to the performance of specialized marching corps featuring brass, battery (drums) and color guard. Participants - high school through college-age (16 to 21 years old) - audition for placement in the individual corps (an extremely competitive process). Corps members attend camps one weekend a month from Thanksgiving until Memorial Day weekend.  Starting in early June most members move to the corps home town where they spend up to 12 hours a day in practice and spend nights in competition.

The Lincoln-Way East High School Music Boosters are organized to support the efforts of all students studying and performing in all areas within the Music Department (Marching Band, Symphonic Band, Chorus). The Music Boosters work to provide funding for instruments, provide support and to travel with the different music organizations to competitions and performances, and provide volunteer services to the Music Department.
