Colts programs serve young people from grade 4 through age 21 who desire high levels of challenge, achievement and success, and they carry an expectation that our members are committed to hard work and dedication. The ultimate purpose of the Colts organization is to provide motivated young people an opportunity to participate in intensive and accelerated performing arts ensembles, and in the process learn life skills that will allow them to grow as leaders of the future. The Colts travel over 10,000 miles each summer as a member of Drum Corps International.
