The Beanpot trophy
Seven people will be inducted into the Massachusetts Drum Corps Hall of Fame this coming summer, during an intermission ceremony of the Beanpot Invitational, held on June 29 at Hurd Stadium in Beverly, Mass. "This year's Beanpot competition will really excite everyone, and we are extremely honored to welcome these seven individuals to the Massachusetts Drum Corps Hall of Fame," said famed Drum Corps International tour event partner/show coordinator Tony DiCarlo. "The Beanpot is always a great time, and this year, with these wonderful inductees, the show is going to be even better." The competition at the Beanpot this year will include the Cavaliers, the Cadets, Boston Crusaders, Glassmen, Crossmen, Patriots and the East Coast Jazz. Immediately following the show, a social in honor of all on the 2003 inductees will be held at the Victoria Rolley Post in Beverly, Mass. The social will also feature a special performance of the Legends Drum and Bugle Corps. Admission to the social is free with a Beanpot ticket stub. 2003 Massachusetts Drum Corps Hall of Fame Inductees
