2025 Awards Banquet

The Danbury Drum Corps came together on April 26th to celebrate the close of a successful 2024 parade season with our Annual Awards Banquet. Hosted at the Hilltop Kitchen in Sandy Hook, CT, the evening was filled with laughter, reflection, and well-deserved recognition. A heartfelt thank you to the Hilltop Kitchen staff for helping make the night a memorable one!

This year’s banquet was not only a celebration of service and achievement, but also a time to honor legacy. We proudly welcomed Michelle Haber into the prestigious 20 Year Club—a testament to her commitment and contributions to the Corps.
