In the summer of 2017, Arsenal Drum and Bugle Corps had its inaugural season. With 33 members in its first season, the corps fielded a brass line and percussion battery section. Spring training was held over two weeks and concluded with a send-off show in Albuquerque, NM, which was the corps founding hometown. Arsenal also performed in Las Cruces, New Mexico before ending their season in San Antonio, TX at the Drum Corps International Southwestern Championships. Here, the corps earned “Best-In-Show” honors in the SoundSport Category with their show “Volver.”
