Get a sneak preview of the 2026 drum corps season, right here in New England! Join us for the Beanpot Pre-Season Premiere at Manning Field on Wednesday, July 1st!

This special ‘family & friends’ exhibition marks the first public preview of the Boston Crusaders’ 2026 production, alongside an exclusively New England lineup! This is your first chance to see the show before the corps hits the road, alongside our neighbors Spartans (2025 DCI Open Class Champions), 7th Regiment, Crusaders Senior, and North Star!

This event is a display of New England’s greatest ensembles in a special early-season exhibition. And did we mention, this will be the first time both the World and Open Class DCI Championship trophies call New England home?

Can’t get enough? Spartans will be hosting the Preview of Champions in Nashua, NH the following evening on July 2nd, and the East Coast Showcase returns to Lawrence on Thursday, July 30th!

Don’t miss this perfect kickoff to the summer tour. Secure your tickets now and witness the first notes of the 2026 drum corps season!
