A tradition of excellence .

Since 1956, the Phantom Regiment Drum Corps has been wowing audiences with powerful, passionate performances.

A member of the Drum Corps International elite top twelve since 1974, Phantom Regiment is a Championship (1996, 2008) caliber marching arts ensemble with some of the most accomplished Alumni in the world.

The Phantom Regiment not only gave me the three most exciting, intense, and rewarding summers I’ve ever had; It gave me experiences and skills that will resonate throughout the rest of my life. No other organization could have shaped me the way the Regiment did.

Sam Wildman, Drumline '13-15

Phantom Regiment has made a huge impact on my daughter’s life. I want y’all to know that when I first heard her tell me she wanted to join, I looked at your website and read the mission statement and thought it was a bunch of fluff. Wow, I was wrong. This was a life-changing experience for Ellie.  Thank you for making that happen.

Chris Kiihne, Parent of '18-20 Color Guard Member

I would not be who or where I am today without the experiences I had in my four years with the Phantom Regiment. This organization teaches discipline and perseverance unlike any other place I have known, and along the way you truly learn how to be a better version of yourself.

Amanda Petro, Hornline '15-18

We have this incredible desire to reach into the heart of fans, get pushed to the ultimate exhaustion, and give a part of ourselves without asking for anything in return. That is who the Phantom Regiment is, and that is exactly why I’ve become the strongest version of myself I never thought was possible.

Carrie Hodousek, Color Guard '10-12
