UPDATE 3/26/20:

To our Corps Encore Fans:

After several weeks of closely monitoring the situation–in coordination with Drum Corps International (DCI) and other drum corps (read more)–Ascend Performing Arts has made the difficult decision to cancel our planning for the 2020 Corps Encore show due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic. 

While we recognize the hard work and preparation already put into this amazing show event by our staff, this decision allows everyone involved–our show staff, stadium host, volunteers, show sponsors and our fans–to focus on their individual safety and well-being, and help their community get through this crisis. We have made a commitment to our members, staff, alumni, fans, and supporters to prioritize their health & safety first. 

What if I already purchased tickets to a canceled DCI show?

First and foremost, the health and safety of our members, staff, volunteers and fans is at the top of our priority list, and the spread of COVID-19 appears as if it will impact many parts of the country into the summer months.

You may email us here for questions.

Corps Encore

Corps Encore, Utah’s premier marching music event, is an exciting spectacle of sight and sound. Every summer, a variety of competitive junior drum and bugle corps from all over North America stop in Utah on their national tours in preparation for the DCI World Championships.

Held at Weber State University’s beautiful Stewart Stadium, Corps Encore is a great night of affordable family fun and a Utah tradition. The day starts out at 9:00am with the BKXperience-Perform! Clinic at Weber State University open to middle school, high school and college band students interested in learning performance techniques and make friends. Come out to see the Blue Knights clinic as they rehearse in the stadium at 3:30 pm to 5:00pm. All these pre-show events are free to the public!
