In an unprecedented show of solidarity, members of every active drum and bugle corps in the state of Texas will unite in San Antonio, Texas for two combined performances. Revolution, Gulf Coast Sound, Frontier, & Trinity will perform their 2005 productions as a stand-still concert. The Corps will then play together as a massed-Corps.
The event will happen on Sunday, June 26th starting at 1:00 PM and finishing at 4:00 PM. The Corps will begin on the grounds in front of the historic Alamo giving a 1 hour concert. Following an hour long intermission the Corps will perform again at the equally historic and scenic La Villita theatre on the San Antonio Riverwalk. Admission is free for both venues.
