Question:

Anyone in a Drum Corps or go to Drum Corps International shows?

Like The Cavaliers, Blue Devils, The Crossmen, Santa Clara Vanguard, Blue Coats, The Cadets, Phantom Regiment, Revolution, just to name a few of my favorites. If you have a favorite or are in a Drum Corps. Tell me about it.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I love DCI! I'm a woodwind player, so unfortunately I can't join a drum corp. Our drumline instructor (we're a competitive high school marching band) used to play with The Cavaliers, so he always brings in tapes of performances for us to watch and tells various stories. He took us to a smaller DCI show last year where we got to watch the Madison Scouts rehearse. Our drill instructor is part of a DCA corp (Empire Statesmen) and we've hosted two DCA shows and I've watched them rehearse as well. I'm the head drum major at our school, so watching those rehearsals and shows gave me some inspiration of how to work with the other students and many students have said that after watching those shows they've been motivated to work harder.
