2022 Seattle Summer Music Games July 9th
Color. Pageantry. Spectacular Music. See and hear some of the nation’s finest drum and bugle corps in competition at The Seattle Summer Music Games (SSMG) at Renton Memorial Stadium on Saturday, July 9, 2022.
In partnership with the Renton Chamber of Commerce, Seafair and Drum Corps International (DCI), the Northwest Youth Music Association is pleased to present a full day of family activities, culminating with the competition featuring DCI World Championship finalists Blue Knights from Denver, CO and The Academy from Tempe, AZ, as well as Troopers from Casper, WY and Columbians from Pasco, WA.
Each musical ensemble will present a unique themed show in its own style with specially arranged brass and percussion music varying from pop, jazz and classical. After a two-year absence, SSMG promises to be one of the most prestigious events of its kind in the Pacific Northwest.
A full day of activities are planned, including a variety of food served from some of the region’s top food trucks. Shop at the souvenir and business marketplace featuring the participating drum corps, arts organizations, other nonprofits and Renton-area businesses. Relax with friends and reminisce with alumni from past NW drum corps in the beer/wine garden at the Carpenter’s Union Hall across the street from the stadium.
