Ascend Performing Arts has evolved from our humble start in 1958 as the Blue Knights Drum & Bugle Corps parade corps. Our offerings now include programs of year-round ensembles for thousands of young men and women from the Rocky Mountain region and around the world to perform, compete, and better themselves as members of highly talented performance groups.
