Our Programs
Our diverse programs help us inspire the Sacramento area and beyond.
Drum Corps
The Sacramento Mandarins is a drum and bugle corps based in Sacramento, CA. From its humble beginnings in 1963, to becoming a 7th place World Class Finalist, the Mandarins are resilient, motivated performers dedicated to excellence each and every day. Known for our innovative show design and positive member experience, you're sure to find an unforgettable summer.
Immortal Winds
Consisting of brass and woodwind instrumentalists, Immortal Winds entertain musically and visually in arenas across Northern California. Expert instruction by many Mandarins Drum and Bugle Corps staff will provide an education-based learning experience for local musicians in the Sacramento and Northern California region.
Music Academy
At the Mandarins, our core belief is that music education contributes greatly to the mental and social development of children. The mission of the Mandarins Music Academy is to “Give the Gift of Music” to as many children as possible in an equitable way. Music education and performance provide an emotional outlet of expression for the children that are needed more than ever.
Pathways
The Mandarins Pathways program is proud to report that we now provide two co-ed classes inside the Juvenile Department of Justice for beginning and advanced music/percussion/literacy classes. We have had several students promote to the next level and advanced student have expanded to piano/guitar as well.
Entertainment
Every year we entertain thousands of fans at the Sacramento Kings Drum Line, Sonoma Raceway NASCAR events, and even the Oakland Raiders. But that’s not all we do. We also provide drum lines for smaller events for organizations small and large. We have performed for grand openings, building dedications, parades, weddings, and many more. We tailor our performances so every event is special and memorable.
Our goal for every event is to Entertain, Impress, and Inspire our audiences young and old.
