Violent Delights: A Rose and its Thorns

A rose blooms with beauty and grace,

Its thorns a reminder of life’s

embrace,

For in its death, its beauty is gone,

But its thorns remain, a legacy

strong.

2023 marks Music City's 15th year as a competing ensemble within Drum Corps International. We celebrate today by announcing our 2023 production, Violent Delights: A Rose and its Thorns.  

"The production of Violent Delights is an exciting vehicle for us to continue our growth in excellence and creative development. It's been a blast putting this show together with a killer team and can't wait to see it hit the field this summer!"

~Program Coordinator, Shane Gwaltney

Music City fans have 17 chances to watch Violent Delights during the competitive season before Music City takes the field for Drum Corps International World Championships at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis in August 2023. The full schedule can be found on Drum Corps International’s website.

“It has been exciting to watch this drum corps begin to bring to life what our amazing design team has put together. The music you will hear in the show is some of my all time favorite. I can’t wait for everyone else to be able to see Violent Delights take the field this summer!

~ Corps Director, Chaz Bledsoe
