Following a unanimous vote of Drum Corps International World Class member corps on Tuesday 30th September, the southern New Jersey-based Jersey Surf has officially been approved as a World Class unit, effective with the 2009 season.
The Jersey Surf, celebrating its nineteenth anniversary in the coming year, is a nine-time Drum Corps International Open Class Finalist (formerly Div. II & III) and has been recognised with the 'Spirit of Disney Award' three times in the last six years. Most recently, the corps was a bronze medalist at the 2008 Open Class World Championship in Bloomingto - Indiana following a silver medal finish at the 2007 World Championships in Pasadena, Calif.
"Today is certainly another monumental milestone in the continuing evolution of our organisation", said Jersey Surf executive director Bob Jacobs. "We've worked hard over the past 18 years to develop an organisation that provides its members, staff and volunteers with an exceptional drum corps experience, and we will continue to develop and refine the program to that end."
