Without the generous outpour from our community, a Northern Lights season would not be possible. We thank each and every one of our partners, volunteers, sponsors, and donors from the bottom of our hearts!

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.

Special Thanks
Northern Lights would like to give a special thanks to Rick Kremer, Jane Kremer, Tom Farr, and the Belvederes Alumni Drum & Bugle Corps for generously donating their percussion equipment to us. This storied corps from Schuylkill, PA selflessly donated a complete line of marching percussion instruments to our corps in support of all-age drum corps in the Midwest. The impact of this donation can not be overstated. These instruments will be in use with the #NLDL for years to come and help us in our growth. |
We also want to thank Capital Regiment for their support, both in advice and friendship along our journey, but also in borrowed and donated equipment including uniform parts, instruments, equipment, and general corps logistical gear.
