The world's best all-age drum and bugle corps will head to Rochester, New York, over Labor Day weekend for the 50th anniversary edition of the Drum Corps Associates (DCA) World Championships.

After two years away in Annapolis, Maryland, DCA makes its triumphant return to its familiar home at Sahlen's Stadium, as more than 20 corps from across the country get set to square off in several events scheduled Aug. 29-31.

Great tickets for this golden anniversary series of DCA World Championship events are still available, and if you can't make it to Rochester, select events will be webcast live on the DCA Fan Network powered by Drum Corps International.
