SUMMER BEAT!
Everett Crimson Tide Marching Band members, alumni, and staff competed in the Drum Corps International Open Class World Championships on August 9, 2023 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. The musicians participated in the Spartans Drum and Bugle Corps Summer Enrichment Program, during which they performed at competitions across the country — culminating in the World Championships in Indianapolis.
The Spartans Drum and Bugle Corps is an independent, non-profit performing arts program based in Nashua, NH. The EPS Music Department has had a great relationship with the Spartans for close to 30 years, providing our students to pursue high-visibility opportunities on their own time.
