Do you have some motivated students that would benefit from a life-changing summer experience as a member of a DCI drum & bugle corps? Are those students intimidated by the exceptional skill level of World Class corps or discouraged by expensive dues and camp fees? There is an alternative that will provide a memorable and educational experience for those special students – being a member of the Sky Ryders Drum & Bugle Corps SoundSport ensemble.
DCI SoundSport ensembles are an inclusive, lower-cost alternative to the traditional drum corps that welcomes students of all ages, skill levels, and instrumentation. SoundSport allows any combination of woodwinds, strings, brass, percussion, and colorguard, and the audition process is typically more flexible than that of traditional corps. Ensembles have an abbreviated summer rehearsal schedule and perform at shows with Open Class and World Class corps. Unlike intensive full-summer tours, the shorter SoundSport season is significantly more affordable and would allow your students to return in time to be leaders for your school program's summer camp.
If you have some exceptional students that demonstrate a desire to improve as a musician and performer, the Sky Ryders Drum & Bugle Corps, from Hutchingson, KS., is designing another memorable production for this summer. Following a successful debut last summer, the 2026 corps is welcoming interested performers and has one-day audition camps planned in Kansas, Missouri, and Texas from December to April. The summer rehearsal schedule begins in late June, followed by a 4-show tour ending at the DCI Southwestern Championships in San Antonio, TX.
