Shadow Drum and Bugle Corps is an Open Class competitive junior drum and bugle corps. Based in Oregon, Wisconsin, Shadow competes in Drum Corps International (DCI).^[1]

History

The Oregon High School Summer Marching Band began competing in 1972 as a charter member of the Mid-American Competing Band Directors Association (MACBDA). The band competed in the MACBDA every summer through 2015, changing its name to the Shadow Armada in 2008. In the Spring of 2016, the band changed directions and applied for membership in DCI. After an evaluation of the organization's resources, staff, and plans, on May 18, 2016, the unit was approved to compete as an Open Class drum and bugle corps under its new name of Shadow Drum and Bugle Corps.^[2]

Although several corps formerly were or currently are sponsored by colleges or universities, Shadow is the first DCI corps sponsored by a high school.^[2] In late October, 2020 Shadow announced that, through an updated partnership between the sponsoring organizations, membership would be opened to "ANYONE eligible to participate in DCI/" ^[3]

Sponsorship

The corps is sponsored by the Oregon School District and Shadow Marching Arts., a registered non-profit 501 (c)(3) musical organization. The corps director is Rebecca Compton-Allen. The organizations also sponsor the Shadow Indoor Percussion ensemble and two Shadow winter guard units.^[4]
