ABOUT US

Eclipse Drum and Bugle Corps was established in 2023 with the goal of providing performing arts opportunities and music education to the Greater Indianapolis Community. With our member first philosophy we aim to provide the best experience for all individuals who will one day call Eclipse home.

In the DCI 2023 competitive season, Eclipse took the field as a SoundSport Ensemble competing in five events across Indiana and Ohio performing “BANG!”. Our first year of competition we were awarded a silver rating and best in class: youth division at DCI SoundSport Finals. The corps comprised of 24 members and fielded a brass and battery.

Musical selections included:

  • Bang!- AJR

  • Music for a Sushi Restaurant- Harry Styles

  • YMCA- Village People

  • Mars- Gustav Holst

In the 2024 season Eclipse performed “Call of the Cosmos” with an expanded tour and with the addition of our front ensemble. Growing to 34 members we competed throughout the Midwest with our summer tour coming to an end at DCI Whitewater. The corps participated in three Chicago area parades for the Fourth of July. At SoundSport finals we received a gold rating for the first time in our history and Best in Class: Youth Division for a second year in a row.

Musical selections included:

  • Enter the Galaxies- Paul Lovatt-Cooper

  • Mercury- Gustav Holst

  • Saturn- Gustav Holst

2025 was the season where the corps journeyed to “The Edge of the World” with 36 members. This was the first year adding a color guard, with a featured performer, and the battery helping add to the swing flag feature in the ballad. The corps returned for a second year to the three Chicago area parades for the Fourth of July. This was the first season Eclipse scored a Gold rating before SoundSport finals. At SoundSport finals, we received a gold rating and Best in Class: Youth Division third year in a row.
