They will perform a live show for the ۶ֱ Community on June 17 in Spangler Stadium. The gates will open at 6 p.m. and the live performance will start at 8:30 p.m. Carolina Crown started in January 1988 as the Charlotte Drum Corps Association, which was made up of drum corps enthusiasts and alumni. They started NightBEAT, a popular competition that draws large crowds. The actual Carolina Crown Drum Corps didn’t begin until 1989. In 1997, Carolina Crown moved to Fort Mill, S.C., where they are based to this day. Since 2007, the Corps has partnered with ۶ֱ for practice and rehearsal space prior to its national tours.
