Welcome to Chapparells Baton & Drum Corps
The Chapparells are a non-profit youth organization operating out the Akron area since 1974. We march in parades all around the state of Ohio and often go on overnight trips out of state, having a lot of fun. Members in Chapparells twirl batons, flags, and play in a percussion band. We're always welcoming new members and are willing to make them feel comfortable.
