After three seasons on hiatus, the Arsenal Drum & Bugle Corps is returning for the 52nd competitive season of Fantasy Marching Arts. This marks the corps 21st anniversary since their inaugural season in S31 and their first competitive FMA season in S32.
The corps has relocated yet again. Arsenal originated in the Houston area, but moved 3 hours west to San Antonio before season 39. Now Arsenal has found a new home in Austin, Texas- about an hour and a half north. Arsenal will be hosting their 17th seasonal event in nearby San Marcos, at Bobcat Stadium, on June 2nd.
For season 52, Arsenal is proud to announce their program "Vengeance," which explores the theme of revenge through brooding lows, shrieking highs, and intense visual work.
