A 48-year summer music tradition, Drums Along the Rockies brings the precision, passion and power that is marching music’s major league to Denver’s Invesco Field for an evening filled with the magic of drum and bugle corps competition.

The event will provide the ultimate drum corps experience, from open-to-the-public warm-ups in the parking lot to the powerful field performances of brass, percussion and colorguard. A “must” for music lovers of any age, Drums Along the Rockies offers a close-up look at some of the most talented young musicians in the nation. Hosted by Denver’s Ascend Performing Arts with support from Xerox, Denver Post Community and Mix 100, a full schedule of pre-show activities includes the Blue Knights’ Alumni hospitality tent and the high school drumline Throw Down.
