Central High School senior Chase Carroll is joining Cavaliers Arts, Performance, & Education (CAPE) organization in Rosemont, Illinois.
Chase has been a member of the Marching Pride Color Guard throughout his high school career. As a member of the Winter Guard, Chase found his passion for performance, which led him to the Drum and Bugle Corps auditions. He officially becomes a member of CAPE following graduation.
The Cavaliers were founded in 1948 as the drum and bugle corps for Boy Scout Troop 111 in Chicago’s Logan Square neighborhood by the troop’s leader, Donald W. Warren. Today, they are a world-class competitive performance ensemble attracting hundreds of auditionees every year. Each summer, their 165-member ensemble along with 50+ instructional staff embark on a competitive tour, attending roughly 25 competitions across the US and culminating at Drum Corps International World Championships in Indianapolis in August.
Over their 75 years, they have proudly received numerous accolades, including seven (7) Drum Corps International World Championships, and several top placements in Brass, Percussion, and Visual captions. The Cavaliers are one of the most decorated and easily recognizable drum corps in the activity today.
Chase will be performing through the summer months, returning in August to begin college. His plans include studying to become a nurse or a physical therapist.
