Forest Lake music program alumni and staff participated in making history when Minnesota Brass Drum & Bugle Corp (MBI) of St. Paul was proclaimed Class A Champions at the all-age 2011 Drum Corps Associates World Championships.
The Sept. 4 event, held in Rochester, NY, marked the first world championship win in the 65 year history of the MBI organization. A roster of 21 corps participated in the preliminary competition where MBI edged out the Reading Buccaneers by .3 with a 97.73 score. MBI won finals with a score of 98.35. Bucs scored 97.45 in finals, ending the PA-based corps six consecutive years as reigning DCA champions. See more in Forest Lake Times story.
