The Corps has been a staple in the community for over 85 years. Participation with the Corps provides students with uniforms, instruction and community service opportunities; in addition to being able to earn valuable dollars toward their future educations.
The Corps' performance season runs typically from mid-March through the end of October. The performance season consists of primarily firemen's parades throughout the tri-state area, along with
concerts, competitions and special events. The Corps
rehearses from September to May.
