The Raiders
Wayne, New Jersy

The mission of the Raiders Drum and Bugle Corps is to provide young adults, ages 14 –21, from diverse socio-economic backgrounds, with musical, educational and character-building experiences through the vehicle of the performing arts.

Founded in 1990, the Raiders Drum and Bugle Corps is a nationally competitive drum & bugle corps, based in Wayne, NJ. As a non-profit 501c(3) Organization, The Raiders Drum and Bugle Corps was founded with one primary goal; to afford any young adult the opportunity to march in a world class drum corps. The Raiders guarantee an experience to young adults unlike any other in the performing arts. Here they can combine the intellect of artistic and musical virtues with the achievement and excellence of athletic prowess. The benefits of being a Raider transcend competitive success. They build life enhancing skills and self-confidence that assist their performers throughout their adult life.

“Our members enjoy the feel and comfort that the DINKLES® Vanguard® Marching Shoe provides. The durability and stability combined with the overall comfort makes DINKLES® a very easy choice for our corps to use. With our Demanding, Competitive Marching Style, we know that DINKLES® can stand up to the Challenge.”
