The Incognito Drum and Bugle Corps was an Open Class competitive junior drum and bugle corps. Based in Brea and Garden Grove, California, Incognito performed in Drum Corps International (DCI) competitions.[1]

History[]

The Incognito Drum Line begun in 2005 by Tony T. Nguyen, and competed in the Southern California Percussion Alliance, the American Drum Line Association, and Winter Guard International percussion circuits.

The Incognito Winter Guard started in 2007, competing in the Winter Guard Association of Southern California and Winter Guard International.

In 2008, Nguyen and others finally founded the Incognito Drum and Bugle Corps of Norwalk, California, which was approved by DCI on May 8 to compete as an Open Class corps. The new corps competed in seven California contests in 2008.[2]

Operating from Orange, California, the 2009 corps was in seven California shows and took a weekend tour to perform in New Mexico and Arizona.

In 2010, economic conditions forced the corps to cancel its planned season and take time try to build a more stable financial base.[3]

After more than three seasons of inactivity, DCI announced on May 21, 2014 that Incognito had been approved to return to the field, joining six other corps as additions to the DCI Open Class summer schedule.[4]

Sponsorship[]

The Incognito Drum and Bugle Corps was sponsored by the Music Life Foundation, a registered non-profit 501(c)(3) musical organization.[5] [6]
