East vs West Rivalry
Welcome to the 2026 edition of the newly reimagined East vs West competition!
Born in 2015 as a spirited competition between the Blue Knights and Troopers, the rivalry expanded post-pandemic to include the Mandarins, forming a fun and friendly three-way battle among corps that toured together in the celebration year. Now in 2026, we're evolving the concept to create a coast-to-coast showdown!
This year, it 's all about regional pride. The Western Corps—Blue Knights, Troopers, Mandarins, and The Battalion will form Team West, and they’ll go head-to-head against the Eastern Corps—Carolina Crown, Spirit of Atlanta, Boston Crusaders, and Sunrisers forming Team East.
Let the rivalry begin!
