For the first time since the 2007 DCI World Championships were held in Pasadena, The Cavaliers will make a return to the Golden State as part of the midwestern corps’ 2019 summer tour.
The corps recently announced the return to California for the first time in more than a decade as part of its 2019 recruitment efforts on Facebook.
While the corps is no stranger to DCI’s pacific region, its trips out west have been limited. In addition to 2007, the Green Machine also wrapped up its 2004 season in California as part of Drum Corps International’s Tour of Champions series following the DCI Finals in Denver.
2019, however, will mark the first time since 1997 and 1993 that The Cavaliers have spent the first part of their summer tour competing against the likes of west coast corps like the Blue Devils and Santa Clara Vanguard.
“Kicking off the DCI competitive season in California will be an exciting start to what’s shaping up to be a special coast-to-coast summer tour,” Cavaliers executive director Chris Lugo said.
Additional details about the corps’ west coast visit and other 2019 tour stops will be revealed with the release of the 2019 DCI Tour schedule at the end of November.
