Drum Corps International at Rose Bowl July 4
The 83rd Annual 4th of July celebration at the Rose Bowl is just about an all-day affair if you want to celebrate with family and friends in a big way. Food vendors, entertainment, crafts, exhibits, picnic opportunities will be on hand around 2:00 p.m. but the Rose Bowl gates open at 6:00 p.m. The pre-fireworks show begins at 7:00 p.m. with the Drum Corps International who will be seen in exhibition performances of five corps. This is DCI’s second year at the Rose Bowl Americafest July 4 event.
The five corps performing are the Mandarins from Sacramento, the Academy, from Tempe, Az., Pacific Crest, Diamond Bar, Blue Devils, Concord, and Bluecoats, from Canton, Oh. DCI tells us fans will be treated to complete competitive programs with special “instant encores” of patriotic tunes following each presentation. Just before the fireworks begin, all five corps will come together for a rousing performance of “America the Beautiful”. The fireworks display begins at 9:05 p.m.
General seating tickets are $10. Fans of the Drum Corps International can purchase special seats for $25 that offer a better view of their precision drilling. DCI tickets are available at www.dci.org/tickets. General seating can be purchased through Ticketmaster or at the Rose Bowl box office.
