Carolina Crown Drum and Bugle Corps is a Drum Corps International World Class (formerly Division I) drum and bugle corps, based in Fort Mill, South Carolina. The corps organization was founded in 1988 as the Charlotte Drum Corps Association, but the corps did not enter competition as Carolina Crown until the 1990 season. In 1993, Carolina Crown became the Drum Corps International Division II (now Open Class) Champions. Following that season, the corps moved to Division I, entering the Top 12 and performing at the DCI World Championship Finals for the first time in 1995. The drum and bugle corps has been a "Top 12 finalist" corps in every season since 1995 with the exception occuring during the 2002 season when the corps placed 16th during Championship Week.
In August 2009 the corps received their highest placement in DCI Finals competition to date, registering a 2nd place finish. That season, the corps earned their highest score ever, 97.50, and medalled for the first time in corps history. Along with winning the Jim Ott Best Brass Award, the corps also won the Fan Network Fan Choice Award which gave the audience a chance to choose their favorite corps on the field.
