Fun with the people.
Dedication to performance. Pride in the corps. Fun with the people.
The Govenaires are a non-profit marching arts organization in Southern Minnesota committed to educating and empowering performers of all ages through music and movement. We support multiple ensembles to meet this end—the Drum and Bugle Corps being the flagship ensemble that the organization evolved from.
Ensembles
Govenaires Drum and Bugle Corps
The Govenaires Drum and Bugle Corps are an all-age, competitive ensemble that has won five world championship titles, including the DCI title in 2024.
Govenaires Parade and Concert Corps
The Govenaires Parade and Concert Corps (GPC) entertains audiences domestically and abroad with only one objective: have fun with the people.

As we prepare to celebrate our 100-year anniversary, we’re asking alumni, members, and the community to contribute photos, stories and memorabilia to help us tell the story of our journey.
