For more than 10 years, New York State's Capitol area and the Western Massachusetts Region have been been void of any Drum & Bugle Corps presence; a sad reality in light of the high number of drum corps our area once enjoyed.  In April of 2004 however, that void came to an end with the birth of the Excelsior All-Aged Drum & Bugle Corps.  After several months of planning and hard work the regions new Corps became a reality, and during the 2005 season the corps debuted and appeared in over 20 parades and other performances.

The Excelsior Drum and Bugle Corps is now providing a unique performing arts activity throughout the entire region for men, women and children of all ages and have recently expanded it's presence in the community through the creation of the Excelsior Visual & Performing Arts Association. (EVPAA)  The umbrella of this association extends itself to not only include the Drum & Bugle Corps, but also includes a special Holiday Ensemble, the newly created Excelsior Performing Arts Theater (EXPRO) in Mechanicville, NY, and has future plans that include other groups such as a Mini-Corps, an Indoor Competitive Winter Guard, a Brass Ensemble, an Indoor Percussion Ensemble and more.

All this however does not come without a great need for human resources and financing.  Although most of the funds obtained so far have been earned by the corps through the parades we have participated in, our future growth and success will depend on the continual moral, participatory and financial support of the community through volunteerism, possible grants as well as corporate and personal contributions. 

This is where you can come into play!  Please help Excelsior continue its successful programs by becoming involved through participation, volunteering and/or offsetting expenses for musical instruments, uniforms, instruction, transportation, insurance and the many other costs necessary to operate and support the association, especially in fielding a corps, a corps that we hope will become an artistic icon of the region with Championship levels of performance.
