The Tour of Champions event series is an exciting live entertainment format featuring the top groups in the world, giving fans the opportunity to immerse themselves in the drum corps experience. This show is sponsored by Phantom Regiment Drum and Bugle Corps from Rockford, Illinois.
Local drum corps promoter Michael Embrey is excited to have the show return to DeKalb County. “This event is a summer highlight for DeKalb and one of the best events for local revenue,” said Embrey. The corps’ attire have gone from traditional military uniforms to very theatrical costumes. “Each show is like a major theater production, or what I like to call, ‘Broadway on Grass,'” said Embrey.
