Here’s everything you need to know about what’s been publicized to date:
TROOPERS
The Final Sunset
REVEALED: AUGUST 11
In their own words
“You’re going to see this Trooper come to terms with the end of their time here. They’re realizing they don’t have the strength they used to, even though they still have the mindset. This show is about reflection — coming to terms with what was, what is, and what’s next.” – Tim Snyder, program coordinator

On Display
REVEALED: DECEMBER 26

CINCINNATI TRADITION
CincinnatUS
REVEALED: JANUARY 12
In their own words
“The ‘US’ in the show title is capitalized, so there’s a little bit of an emphasis on a collective rather than just a singular character. We’ve been in Cincinnati now for 40 years. We wanted to do something that would anchor us to our home — something that would throw a nod to it.” — Kendra Wendeln, program coordinator

Mended
REVEALED: JANUARY 21
In their own words
“It was years ago, I saw some pictures of the repaired pottery, and I thought it was visually super cool. It’s a rabbit hole that I’m very glad I jumped down.” — Mike Marino, program coordiantor

GENESIS
Kaleidoscope Heart
REVEALED: FEBRUARY 7
In their own words
“There’s an underlying meaning to the show that we’re putting on. But performers and audiences want to see and hear color. They want to see and hear speed. The kids want to perform things that they connect to. So it’s a very simple concept, and it’ll be a very exciting drum corps show.” — Chris Magonigal, CEO

BUSHWACKERS
Where Do We Begin?
REVEALED: MARCH 25
In their own words
“It speaks to the shared experience that we all have as humans — how every ending is just another new beginning. It reflects on the idea that we were all created, and we’re gifted with the opportunity to be creative in our lives. So, we’re taking some time to look back toward the shared beginning that we all have — whether it’s the beginning of time, space, everything, or even just the beginning of our own lives.” — Lauryn Griffin, artistic coordinator

SPARTANS
Mistica
REVEALED: APRIL 14
In their own words
“It’s a concept that we feel is the perfect end of a trilogy of the last two productions. In 2023, ‘Surreal’ was very much an artistic concept. In 2024, it was all about burning man and visiting a mystical place. This is kind of a combination of the two.” — Fred Ford, program coordinator

THE ACADEMY
London Fog
REVEALED: APRIL 28
In their own words
“We’re using a little bit of the Academy image over the last decade or so as inspiration — a little bit of a throwback while still moving forward in a new and fresh direction. We thought that was an interesting concept, to see how we could really explore fog throughout the entire show.” — Brian Murphy, program coordinator
