Drum corps fans: It's time to gear up for the 2012 Drum Corps Associates World Championships! Coming to Annapolis, Md. Aug. 30 to Sept 2, this ultra-exciting series of events will feature the finest all-age drum and bugle corps.



A city steeped in tradition as home to the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis' Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium will play host to competitive events as more than 20 corps get set to square off over Labor Day Weekend.
