The Passaic Valley Color Guard is officially stepping into the Aurora era. 🌌💚

Shimmering greens, glowing blues, and just the right amount of sparkle to bring the northern lights to the field.

We are absolutely obsessed with this year’s look from @awctperformance!

Also our swing flags (not pictured) and first song flags are custom made by @dpgperforms and we are OBSESSED!!

Our (viral) iridescent ballad flags are from the world champion @rdgbuccaneers @rbcg_official!!

And not pictured are our closer lamé flags which were purchased from @bandshoppe!!

The uniforms are here. The flags are ready. Now it’s time to light up the sky. ✨

Congratulations to our 2026 DCI Champions🏆

MPAM would like to send our best wishes and congratulations to all who took home the gold this season! In All-Age, we congratulate the Reading Buccaneers, in Open Class, we congratulate the Blue Devils B, and in World Class, we congratulate the Bluecoats🏅 Each of these organizations put on an amazing performance, and their placements were well-deserved!

We would also like to recognize and remember the hard work and dedication that every single member put on the field, medalists or not. While only one in each division can take home the trophy, every drum corps that competes, does a standstill, or performs in a showcase is an important part of history and leaves a legacy for the next generation. Our respect and appreciation go out to members of every corps that participated this season for their determination and commitment to the sport we love, and for entertaining the crowds all season long!

Congratulations again to everyone involved in another fantastic season of DCI!

All-Age medal counts, DCA and DCI, 1965 to 2026.

Slides 1 and 2: the top tier, DCA Open Class, then World Class, then DCI All-Age.
3 and 4: A Class, the smallest tier, from 1997.
5: Open Class as a middle tier, which only existed from 2022.
6: the DCI era alone, 2024 to 2026.

Reading Buccaneers lead with twenty two top tier titles. Hawthorne Caballeros have the most podiums at forty one.

No single source covers all of this.

#DCI2026 #DCI #AllAge #DrumCorps #marchingarts

The rest of the top tier. Only fifteen corps have ever finished top three in an All-Age top division championship since 1965.

Minnesota Brass took the 2011 title and hold five seconds. Cadets 2 won in 2016. Westshoremen won in 1996. Atlanta CV have five podiums without a title, the most of any corps in the tier never to win it.

No single source covers all of this. Figures reconciled across archives.

#DCI2026 #DCI #AllAge #DrumCorps #marchingarts

A Class was DCA’s smallest tier, introduced in 1997, and it continues under DCI. Twenty six corps have placed top three.

Govenaires own it with six titles and eighteen podiums, placing top three in nearly two of every three championships ever held. Carolina Gold are next with three titles. Heat Wave have two titles and four seconds.

No single source covers all of this. Figures reconciled across archives.

#DCI2026 #DCI #AllAge #DrumCorps #marchingarts

The rest of A Class. Nine of the twenty six corps here reached the podium exactly once.

Alliance won in 2008. Chops Inc won in 2005. Chieftains won the first A Class title in 1997. Erie Thunderbirds, SoCal Dream and Sun Devils each have two podiums and no title.

Note that A Class finals fielded only four corps in most years, and only two from 2001 through 2004.

#DCI2026 #DCI #AllAge #DrumCorps #marchingarts

The smallest board in this set. Open Class only became a middle tier in 2022, when DCA added World Class above it, so only four have ever been contested.

Cincinnati Tradition and Connecticut Hurricanes have two titles each. White Sabers have three second places and no title, the only corps in any All-Age tier with that record.

No single source covers all of this. Figures reconciled acros

15 years later, another rookie year with the same corps - only this time, on the other side of the arc.

Thank you Buccaneers, especially @amy_aleen_ , for trusting me and bringing me on this journey. Joining this staff has been nothing short of rewarding. It helps when your teammates are also some of the best friends you can ask for!

Finally, shout out to the @bucs_sops . Thank you for all your hard work, energy, and infectious attitude. You guys made me grow as an educator, made this rookie staff’s job that much easier - and man, was it a blast doing so.

💙WAGM💙
