"Spartans Drum & Bugle Corps Vancouver/Portland Metropolitan area
This year marks the 21st year for the Spartans. The corps was founded in 1968 by current executive director, Bill Steiner, Sr... Bill Steiner, Jr. handles the corps now while Bill Sr. works with the Cadets.
The Spartans have gone many miles in lots of years with lots of wonderful people helping every inch of the way. Without all of the help it probably would have folded years ago.
The current Corps Director, Bill Jr., has taken the Corps into the DCI competitions and has made the Corps truly competitive. Like all the rest of the DCI corps, they have traveled and competed in many states, going from coast to coast on buses, sleeping in them and on gym floors, practicing every day in the hot sun, eating corps food, hoping for hot showers, and maybe there will be time for a day just lazing around.
The 1989 tour will take the corps from the cool Northwest over 10,000 miles from Alberta, Canada to Utah, Minnesota, Alabama, North Carolina and plenty of stops on the way to the DCI Championships in Kansas City.
This year marks a return to the Jazz style for which the Spartans were known for many years. Their performance is sure to be high in audience appeal.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Spartans, formed in 1968, was a junior marching and maneuvering corps based in Vancouver, Washington.

One of the corps' more successful seasons was 1990, when they finished sixth in DCI Class A competition, bolstered by the membership of their successful feeder corps, the Spartan Cadets. Their final DCI appearance was in 1991.
