Twenty-one corps in two classes are scheduled to compete over two days at Rochester Rhinos Stadium, home to the U.S. Soccer Federation's team of the same name.
The 2010 World Championship was won by the Reading Buccaneers. The sixth in a row for the Pennsylvania corps, set a new record for a DCA group with a total of 10 titles in the corps' history. Northern New Jersey's Fusion Core won in the A Class last September, and both corps will be in attendance this coming weekend to defend their titles.
