Based in Pasco, Washington, the Columbians perform in Drum Corps International (DCI) competitions.[1] HistoryIn the Fall of 2012, Dan Perry, who had been one of the founders of the Oregon Crusaders, and Shawn Anderson, an alumnus of the Seattle Cascades, reached out to Derek Munson, another Cascades alumni, about designing a website for a new drum corps they were forming in the Vancouver, Washington area, tentatively titled "The Ascent." Munson, who lives in Tri-Cities, Washington, spoke with Anderson a number of times about the viability of a drum corps in the Tri-Cities region, as the turn out to previous "Walk On Weekend" audition camps in the Vancouver area had been less than expected. Having worked with the local Drums Along The Columbia drum corps show and knowing the region's music and arts scene, Munson encouraged Anderson and Perry to contact Russ Newbury, who had been an arranger for the Blue Knights. After much discussion about the name of the corps, it was decided to name it after the original Tri-City Columbians Drum and Bugle Corps, which existed in the area from 1955 to 1975. Honoring the original corps and the region's rich drum corps history was key in getting the new corps off the ground. The name is based on the Columbia River which runs through the region and ties each of the three cities in the Tri-Cities — Kennewick, Pasco, and Richland — together into one metro area. The new version of the Columbians Drum and Bugle Corps was officially founded on November 20, 2012. Assistance and a donation of some instruments came from Seattle's Northwest Youth Music Association, the sponsors of the Cascades Drum and Bugle Corps. Auditions and rehearsals began that November, and, over the following months, more than a hundred young people attended — some only to see what the activity was about, and others to become members. Keeping costs low for members and keeping expenses for the corps down were major concerns for the corps' leadership; a short, regional performance season was their solution, giving their members the opportunity to have the drum corps experience without having to give up their entire summer. While also making several other appearances, the corps was entered in only four shows in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho in 2013. The corps that marched the inaugural season included more than fifty members from the Tri-Cities, but also included members from as far away as Utah and Texas. [2] Currently, the Columbians are led by Executive Director Tom Zarate, and Corps Director Dillon Miller. The Columbians are now in their seventh season competing in DCI, and have grown to 120+ members. AffiliationsThe Columbians Drum and Bugle Corps is under the affiliation of a non-profit group named Friends of the Columbians. Tom Zarate is the Executive Director; Dillon Miller is the Corps Director and leads the show design team.[3] Show Summary (2013–2018)Source=[4]Gold background indicates DCI Championship; pale blue background indicates DCI Class Finalist; pale green background indicates DCI semifinalist.
TraditionsAt the end of a post-performance debriefing, or often at the end of rehearsals, the battle cry "Roll On!" can be heard being shouted by the entirety of the corps; this is in reference to the 1941 Woody Guthrie tune "Roll On, Columbia, Roll On," which was written by Guthrie as an ode to the power of the Columbia River as it cuts through the Pacific Northwest. In their 2015 program, show creator Jeff Chambers intentionally wrote in a brief two bar moment of silence, in which the crowd yells "Roll On!" as a way to energize the members for the final movement of the show.
