White Sabers Drum and Bugle Corps

White Sabers Drum and Bugle Corps White Sabers Drum & Bugle Corps is DCI All-Age organization that competes regionally.

The White Sabers Drum and Bugle Corps was organized in 1928 under the sponsorship of the American Legion Daniel Goho Post #87 from Dansville, NY then became independent in 1957. In 1994, after about 14 years of absence from the drum corps world, several former White Sabers members organized an alumni reunion, thus reviving an interest in performing. In 2005, the White Sabers returned to the field

as a competitive Class A drum corps. The following year, we competed and placed second in our first DCA World Championships in Rochester, NY on September 3, 2006. The membership dedicated their finals performance to now former directors,
Pete and Leslie Amico, in deep appreciation of their supporting efforts in helping make this drum corps dream come true. In 2013 and 2014, the White Sabers earned back to back DCA Class A world champions. The future of the White Sabers looks bright as we have since become perennial Open Class Finalists (2015-19, 2021), and joined the ranks of DCA's first World Class division.

Help keep us running as we travel almost 2,700 miles over the course of the 2026 show season!

Keeping two diesel-fueled equipment trucks gassed up and ready to go is no easy feat, and rising fuel costs are certainly adding to the challenge.
