If you have been a Drum Corps fan for more than 50 years, chances are you attended a show in Kingston NY. Kingston has been the host to some of the most exciting, and entertaining, drum corps shows in the United States

In the late 50’s and early 60’s, the show was sponsored under the direction of Mr. Ralph Shapiro, by The Kingston Indians. In the 1980’s, the Boy Scouts of America ran the D.C.I. Junior Show. For the past 13 years, The Children’s Home of Kingston has presented the March of Champions, a Drum Corp Associate Senior Corps show, under the leadership of Dr. John Carr. Dr. Carr is a former Hawthorne Muchaccho from 1968-1978, and later served as Corp Director of Fantasia III Drum and Bugle Corps.

Over the years, the March of Champions committee has consisted of former drum corps members as well as drum corps fans who have kept the “MAGIC” alive in Kingston, N.Y.
