Music City Drum Corps took to social media earlier this week to announce its DCI 2024 program titled, 'LEAVE IT AT THE RIVER.' Fans can watch the full show announcement video below or over on the Music City Facebook and Instagram pages.

In a press release put out by the Nashville-based corps on its website, the ensemble describes the show as follows:

The show ingeniously uses rustic piers and meandering ramps over a flowing river to mirror life’s twists and turns. Central to this narrative is the prop of a bucket, symbolizing the burdens we all carry. As performers traverse the stage with these buckets, they visually manifest the weight of these burdens, which are eventually released into the river in a powerful act of cleansing and transformation. The river is more than water; it’s a symbol of time and renewal, carrying away all that weighs down the soul. 

The release goes on to reveal the 2024 repertoire, which includes a wide mix of genres.

  • Wayfaring Stranger by Rhianon Giddens
  • Down by the Riverside feat. Grandpa Elliott
  • Fire Water Paper by Elliot Goldenthal
  • Buckets of Burden by CJ Barrow (original work)
  • Pyramid Song by Radiohead
  • Down to the River to Pray by Alison Krauss
  • Liquid Spirit by Gregory Porter
  • Riverside Rebirth by CJ Barrow (original work)

Fans who are interested in learning more about the show should head over to the Music City website to learn more about this year's program!
