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.

We would like to provide you with options regarding your Corps Encore tickets you’ve purchased for the 2020 season.

We are grateful for your continued support of the remarkable activity we share. We remain optimistic that our best days lie ahead, and that together we will March On!… for the benefit of some of the best and brightest young adults across the globe.

With great appreciation and respect,

I Go On
