Stanbury Uniforms is proud to have been able to cheer on the young people of nearly a dozen drum and bugle corps at the 2009 Drum Corps International World Championships held at Lucas Oil Field in Indianapolis during the week of August 6 - 8.
Being a part of the DCI experience is a dream born of a lifetime of work and dedication. Having started their music and dance careers at a young age and then encouraged at each step by supportive parents and dedicated band directors, these young performers had the eyes and ears of the marching music activity focused squarely on them during this prestigious event. The Stanbury Uniforms family is proud to have been able to be a part of making these outstanding young peformers dream's come true.
Our sincerest congratulations to the members, staff and supporters of the following fine corps who choose Stanbury Uniforms this season:
WORLD CLASS
Santa Clara Vanguard = A legend in their own right, the corps beautiful production based on "Appalachian Spring" was a fan favorite all season. 5th place.
Bluecoats = A powerhouse corps with a powerhouse performance, Bluecoats brought the house down with their big-swing ending and stunning mid-show uniform change. 6th place.
Blue Stars = One of the orginal DCI members is now one of the most creative corps on the scene. Their "Factory" show even depicted a garment factory set-up, complete with sewing machines! 8th place.
Troopers = America's Corps makes the Top 12 cut for the fist time since 1986! A standing ovation before they even entered the field reinforced the love fans have for this corps. 12th place.
The Academy = Powerfull brass, high energy drill and stunning uniforms mark this Arizona-based corps' move back towards the top of World Class. 14th place.
Madison Scouts = The swagger of this all-male corps was not lost on the crowd and as usual, the "Men from Madison" came to play! 15th place.
Pacific Crest = Stanbury's newest member to our family took the field in stunning Brent Becker-designed uniforms made of our new XtremeDri fabric. Filling the field with gold, white and aqua colors, they set the bar for the rest of the day's competition. 19th place.
OPEN CLASS
Vanguard Cadets = Open Class defending champs brought to the field a show of "Love", and the fans certainly love this "little brother" to the Santa Clara Vanguard. 2nd place.
Teal Sound = The largest corps in Open Class always makes sure that fans understand this division is about serious business. They even graced Stanbury's hometown this summer with a 4-day stay! 4th place
Oregon Crusaders = Well-designed productions and great training mark this northwest-based corps mission. 6th place
Blue Saints = A community-based corps in rural Ontario, Canada, Blue Saints gave their young members a trip of their lifetime and a chance to play in the big stadium. 19th place
Stanbury also would like to congratulate California's Hawthorne Gold, who did not make the trek to Indianapolis, but did lead all Open Class corps in southern California competitions this season.
Stanbury Uniforms is proud to be a corporate partner with Drum Corps International since 2003, helping assure that these young performers have the biggest stage possible to make their dreams come true.
