With the end of the 2026 drum corps season, I thought it would be good to look back at the photos, articles, and coverage I wrote throughout the season. My second article of the season was for the long running Drum Corps Grand Prix competition in Clifton, New Jersey.

First, my live coverage from the stands of Clifton Stadium:

Next, the article I wrote for Drum Corps World:

It is a historical fact that George Washington crossed the Delaware River into New Jersey in one of the most daring raids of the Revolutionary War. Unlike General Washington, only I will remember my crossing of the Delaware, but I was doing so as a returning champion . . . of sorts.

With the end of the 2026 drum corps season, I thought it would be good to look back at the photos, articles, and coverage I wrote throughout the season, starting with the very first show in June at the Bluecoats Homecoming Weekend at the University of Mount Union in Alliance, Ohio.

First, the article I wrote for Drum Corps World:

When you’re planning to write about your first time experiencing the 2026 Bluecoats’ program, the thing you do NOT want to hear is that the corps has re-arranged its schedule due to potential rain in the area. Unfortunately, that’s what I heard while rehearsing with the Bluecoats Alumni Legacy Arc, as the corps administration chose to swap their field ensemble time with their sectional time.
