Newaygo Bands
Beginning in the 2023-2024 season, we are proud to announce a community partnership with Newaygo Public Schools and the Newaygo Bands program. This Muskegon-adjacent area has opened up their facilities for our use in rehearsals, camps, and performances and we are extremely thankful for their belief in the importance of marching arts as a fundamental aspect of music education and American tradition.

Ultimate Drill Book
The Northern Lights Drum & Bugle Corps is able to use a cut-down, weekend-only model rehearsal schedule in large part due to our partnership with Ultimate Drill Book (UDB). The UDB digital dot book app makes it easy for our members to learn drill on the field, at home, at school, on the go, and in any environment on their own time. Check out how UDB can help make YOUR band's drill learning experience more efficient here.
