Pacific Crest Youth Arts Organization

We began in 1993 with 33 students. Today Pacific Crest is one of North America's most respected performing arts programs, and touches the lives of 1,500 students each year. In the past three years, over 750 students have enrolled for our two-day Fall Workshops. The Workshops provide intensive training in music, dance, and movement for high school and college students. Our Drum and Bugle Corps (an audition-only group of 150 performers) has traveled 35,000 miles and performed in over 70 competitions, concerts, and parades around the country. During this period, Pacific Crest also provided performing opportunities for 3,000 young performers by hosting nine competitions as part of the Drum Corps International Summer Music Games Tour. Pacific Crest has also appeared in cinema broadcasts, on television shows and commercials, and in world-class venues, including the Orange County Performing Arts Center and the Rose Bowl. As a member of Drum Corps International (DCI), a nonprofit organization serving drum and bugle corps, Pacific Crest competes in World Class, the highest competitive division in DCI. They represent the City of Diamond Bar and the Southern California Region as one of 24 teams in the Marching Music’s Major Leagues
