If you're looking to celebrate Fourth of July while simultaneously satisfying your love for drum corps, take a look at this year's list of corps that will march in parades all across the United States. We've found parade locations from coast to coast that will feature a number of DCI corps. If you think there's nothing in your area, think again! Once you've seen a drum corps or two march down your street, we'd love to see your favorite patriotic photos! E-mail your best drum corps themed Fourth of July shots to dceye@dci.org, and you might see your photo in a future DCI.org feature. Don't forget to include where you took the photo. Check this page often leading up to the Fourth of July. As other corps nail down their Independence Day parade plans, we'll add them to this list as they're submitted!
