Phantom Regiment, Blue Devils Form Education and Event Company
Phantom Regiment and Blue Devils are pleased to announce a
partnership between their two world-renowned youth music organizations
to form Precision Arts.
Precision Arts is a collaboration between the 11-time Drum Corps
International champion Blue Devils from Concord, Calif., and the 1996
Drum Corps International champion Phantom Regiment from Rockford, Ill.
These two groups have been dedicated to the education and development
of young people for decades.
Precision Arts was formed with the goal to be the ultimate destination
for educational events, products, and opportunities.
Precision Arts
will be dedicated to the education and development of young people and
as a resource for educators.
The centerpiece of this first-of-its-kind partnership will be “The
Ultimate Band Camp Experience
.” This camp will bring together some of the world’s best music,
marching and visual educators – all staff members of the two great drum
corps and the most sought after clinicians from around the world – to
teach students and directors for four days at Austin Peay State
University in Clarksville, Tenn. Also included is a very special bonus
of attending and performing
with both corps at the Drum Corps International Masters of the Summer
Music Games in Murfreesboro, Tenn.

The goal of the Ultimate Band Camp is to give young people an experience of a
lifetime that will aid in their positive development.
Both organizations have been doing this for many years while competing
in Drum Corps International events. However, the number of students who
can participate in the drum corps is limited, so by creating this
partnership, the educational value and experience can be expanded to
many more students, directors and events.
Other initial clinics presented by Precision Arts include the wildly
successful Drum Major and Snare Drum camps for high school students
with additional offerings in development. The Drum Major Camp is
entering its fourth year – attendance has more than doubled since its
first year – and the Snare Drum Camp has reached capacity each of its
first two years. Both are held on the campus of Rockford College in
north central Illinois.
This yearÂ’s program dates are:
• Snare Drum Camp, Rockford College, Rockford, Ill. – June 2-4
• Drum Major Camp, Rockford College, Rockford, Ill. – June 6-9
• The Ultimate Band Camp Experience, Austin Peay State University, Clarksville, Tenn. – July 25-28
