For hundreds of Eastern Iowans, Drum Corps was a foundational teenage experience. Cedar Rapids fielded a top-notch ensemble called the Emerald Knights for decades. Emerald Knights alums and other drum corps supporters team up each year to bring some of the world’s top drum corps to Cedar Rapids for the Tournament of Drums.
This year, it will be at Prairie High School, August 4 and will feature the international runner-up, as well as corps from around the country, including Dubuque’s Colt Cadets.
