It's no secret the Cavalier Nation is made up of the most dedicated friends, fans, family, and alumni in the drum corps activity. The Cavaliers Drum & Bugle Corps has a storied history and tradition of success, but the Green Machine could not have done it without YOUR loyal support! To help show our appreciation, The Cavaliers want to highlight (and learn more about) our incredible fans -- That's why we're bringing back our weekly 'Fan Friday' effort to focus on YOU!

Each week, we'll ask for volunteers via Facebook and Twitter, and then randomly profile one of the fans right here on cavaliers.org! Fan Fridays will be a key component in increasing our activity and content geared towards you! Be sure to keep an eye out for more fun features this summer!

Founded in 1948, The Cavaliers are one of the most successful drum and bugle corps in history, winning 20 national championships, including seven Drum Corps International world championships since 1992. Each summer, 150 male brass, percussion and color guard performers aged 16-22 present a marching music show considered among the most challenging and original in the world.

The group performs at more than 30 competitions across the US and for more than 100,000 fans. Along the way, the young men not only learn about music and performing, but have a life-changing experience based on excellence, teamwork and camaraderie.

The Cavaliers Drum & Bugle Corps is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization sponsored by The Village of Rosemont, Illinois.
