The NW Drum Corps Consortium is comprised of the Cascades (Northwest Youth Music Association), Oregon Crusaders, and Thunder (Greater Spokane Drum Corps Association).

All ticket sales and resulting proceeds from the four hosted drum corps shows (Portland, Seattle, Spokane, and Boise) are shared by these three Northwest corps. Additionally, working with DCI, all performing corps will be paid a performance fee, thus further supporting all the corps with the summer tours.

Together, the three organizations are working with DCI to perpetuate the DCI tour through the Northwest. Every year this has become increasingly difficult as corps' tour expenses increase.

This year is a success in that we are pleased for the first time since 2006, World Class drum corps returns to the Seattle area. We are equally pleased to announce that after an absence of several years, a drum corps show returns to Spokane.

The Oregon Crusaders, Thunder, and Cascades, thank you for your support of the Northwest drum corps through your ticket purchases.  Please consider bringing a friend, or two, or three.  If it is within your means, any further support though donations or help in any other way is appreciated.

These Northwest drum corps shows are a great opportunity to introduce the drum corps experience to the next generation of young people. If you know of any young people who might like a glimpse into the drum corps world, please take this opportunity to bring them to a show.

Thank you for your support,

The Thunder, Cascades, and Oregon Crusaders
