Arlington graduates Christopher Atkins (class of 2022) and Catherine Embry (class of 2024) won championships at the Drum Corps International (DCI) finals on August 9, in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Atkins marched with the Boston Crusaders (Boston, MA) this summer in DCI’s elite World Class, while Embry marched with the Spartans (Nashua, NH) in Open Class. The Spartans and Embry made history by winning their third consecutive Open Class Championship. The Boston Crusaders made history on multiple fronts by winning the championship, by receiving the high caption awards for Brass, Color Guard, and Percussion, and by achieving a very rare perfect score in the percussion caption.
Both students are graduates of the Arlington Marching Band program, which sets them up for success with such high level organizations. Many Arlington graduates have gone on to march in drum corps across the country,.
