Drums Along the Rockies will feature the Casper Troopers; the Kiwanis Kavaliers of Ontario, Canada; the Seattle Cascades of Seattle, Wash., the Blue Knights from Denver, Colo.; and the Phantom Regiment from Rockford, Ill. Each drum corps can have up to 135 members between the ages of 14 and 22, Marie Puryear, chairperson for the show, said.
Each drum corps has 10- to 11-and-a-half minutes to produce a show featuring bugles, drums, brass instruments and a color guard. The corps will be scored on musical performance, marching performance and overall effect. The color guard will receive a score based on their performance.
