Esperanza Drum & Bugle Corps and Zildjian are pleased to announce a new partnership beginning immediately. Esperanza will play and exclusively endorse all Zildjian cymbals. Since the 17th century in the city of Constantinople, Zildjian has created cymbals of spectacular clarity and power. The Zildjian secret is now four centuries old. It has been passed down between Zildjian heirs for fourteen generations. Zildjian has been officially recognized as the oldest continually family-owned business in America. "We are very excited to be on board with the best cymbal company in the world. The combination of the professional quality, craftsmanship and selection will revolutionize our sound as both a percussion section and as a full corps," said John Mapes, Esperanza Percussion Caption Head. "We look forward to a great relationship with Zildjian for years to come."
The Esperanza 2006 Audition Camp was the most successful Audition Camp to date. Not only did we have more new members check Esperanza for the first time, we included colorguard at our early season audition.
