Cincinnati Tradition Drum & Bugle Corps was formed in 1984. The founders, Tom Slade and Dan Hartwig decided to add to the championship drum line of the Siver Spectrum.
With adding brass and color guard to the drum line, it was decided they needed a new name, thus the Cincinnati Tradition. With the help of the Pride of Cincinnati Drum & Bugle Corps which folded at the end of the 1984 season, we were able to acquire the much needed brass instruments. The Tradition were the Ohio VFW Parade Champions in 1984, 1985 and 1986. The Tradition took 1st Place at the 1988 Norwood Centennial Parade. They were also selected in 1988 to perform in the City of Cincinnati Bicentennial Parade.
The Tradition took 2 years off in 1995 and 1996 to help Mike "Cozy' Baker form the Mirage Sr. Drum & Bugle Corps in Miamisburg, Ohio. In 1997 and 1998 some members went to march with the Bombardiers in Columbus, Ohio.
In 1998 the Tradition came back to Cincinnati and have been active in the Tri-State area ever since. The Tradition performs in exhibitions in Cincinnati, Centerville, and the Columbus area. For the 2007 season, we will be coming out as a DCA Class A corps. We cant wait to see you all at DCA in the ROC.
