Genesis Joins The Ranks Of World Class In 2017
In breaking news from DCI's winter business meetings in Atlanta, Genesis Drum & Bugle Corps has been selected to compete as a World Class corps in 2017.
From the annual winter business meetings in Atlanta, Drum Corps International Executive Director Dan Acheson has announced that the Genesis Drum and Bugle Corps has been approved to join the World Class division and will begin competing in 2017 as a World Class corps.
"We are very pleased to welcome Genesis into the ranks of DCI's World Class and to support the corps and its management in this next step in the evolution of their organization," Acheson said.

Based in Austin, Texas, the Genesis Drum and Bugle Corps was founded in 2009 by executive director Chris Magonigal -- a DCI alumni who marched at Sky Ryders and the Madison Scouts. The corps has made Open finals every year since its first trip to Michigan City in 2010. Along the way the corps has earned two bronze medals and has twice been named the most improved in the Open Class.
"One of our mottos has been that World Class is a state of mind," Magonigal said. "So going into the World Class mindset, we're not changing much on our end competitively or programmatically. Really it comes down to getting started and providing a great opportunity for our kids."
That opportunity comes with a more robust show schedule and travel for the corps, not to mention competing among the greatest marching ensembles in the world.
