FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Resolute Indoor Percussion Announces Inaugural Season, Building the Next Generation of Performers and Leaders

POTTSTOWN, PA —Dream Performing Arts adds a fourth program to the 501c3 organization established in 2023. Resolute joins Envy Indoor Guard, Helix Winds, and Legacy Drum & Bugle Corps. Resolute Indoor Percussion proudly announces the launch of its inaugural season, introducing a new independent percussion ensemble dedicated to developing young performers through world-class education, artistic excellence, and personal growth.

Resolute will begin its operation in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, Resolute Indoor was created with a vision that extends beyond competition. The organization exists to inspire young adults to discover their potential as musicians, performers, leaders, and compassionate members of their communities.

Each season, performers ages 15 to 22 audition for the opportunity to join a cast committed to excellence both on and off the performance floor. From November through April, members rehearse and compete throughout the Mid-Atlantic region before culminating their season at the Winter Guard International (WGI) World Championships in Dayton, Ohio.

Resolute Indoor is led by an accomplished team of educators, designers, and performers whose experience spans Drum Corps International (DCI), Winter Guard International (WGI), independent ensembles, and scholastic music programs across the country. Many of the organization’s instructors— and even its members—serve as music educators in schools and private studios throughout the MidAtlantic, reinforcing Resolute commitment to strengthening music education wherever it reaches.

“Our mission is simple,” said the organization’s leadership. “We want every member to leave Resolute better than when they arrived—not only as performers, but as people.”

That philosophy is reflected in every aspect of the organization. Resolute Indoor emphasizes integrity, respect, commitment, and excellence while encouraging members to develop leadership, discipline, teamwork, and empathy through the performing arts. Each competitive production becomes more than an eight-minute performance—it becomes a vehicle for confidence, resilience, creativity, and lifelong friendships.

Supported by a passionate volunteer Board of Directors, administrative team, instructional staff, and industry partners, Resolute Indoor is committed to providing a first-class educational experience for every member. The organization proudly participates in both the Tournament Indoor Association (TIA) and Winter Guard International competitive circuits while fostering an inclusive culture where performers from diverse backgrounds can thrive together.

As it embarks on its first competitive season, Resolute Indoor invites performers, educators, families, alumni, volunteers, and sponsors to become part of an organization dedicated to inspiring excellence through music, movement, and education.
