TBC’s winter percussion unit, Tri-City Percussion, is a WGI Independent Open Class percussion unit that will compete in events such as WGI Fresno regionals and Dayton and NCPA. This group of percussionists is taught by some of the top DCI techs and instructors. Don’t worry if you weren’t able to make it out to auditions last weekend! Tri-City Percussion is still looking for a couple Synthesizer, Bass, and Guitar players to join our cast for the 2019 winter season. Please reach out to us at tbc@tricitybandcorps.org for more info!

Great America Event
For the first time on August 13th, the Royal Regiment participated at Great America’s “Performance in the Plaza.” Despite the heat, they put on a stellar show. Members enjoyed themselves inside the massive theme park afterwards.
CBC - One Community, One World Performance
On August 30th, TBC was invited to perform in the heart of Central Park for CBC’s “One Community, One World” event. We played numerous songs while promoting unity and peace in both our community and the world at large.
