Welcome!

Attention all Colorguard Performers!

Drum corps is an activity like no other. 135 performers between the ages of 14 and 21 committing their entire life for 3 months to the same goal, the passionate and yet flawless execution of thier show for tens of thousands of people. the horn line, front ensemble, battery, and colorguard all performing together to create a rich tapestry of sound, color, and movement intended to excite and entertain an audience. but a drum corps is more than the simple collection of all its elements.

A drum corps is a classroom. You can learn more about music, dance, performance, and movement in one season of drum corps than in virtually any other setting. The very nature of drum corps is one os meticulous attention to detail and that means intensive instruction on a daily basis to tweak and fine-tune their show to a leverl that a marching band or other such ensemble simply doesn't have the time or resource to attain.

A drum corps is an athletic event. Most people grossly underestimate the amount of physical activity being in a corps entails. Spending all day, every day running, dancing, marching, tossing, spinning, drumming, and playing as hard, fast, and loud as you can is quite the workout. In fact, it is not uncommon for most people to lose 10 or more pounds in one three-month season.

A drum corps is a chance for personal growth. Self-confidence, discipline, personal accountability, teamwork, leadreship, and attention to detail are just a few of the many traits that are developed within a season of drum corps. These same traits stay with members long after they'ved aged-out and into their professional lives.

A drum corps is a family. Certainly spending every day in the company of the same 135 people for 3 months can forge strong friendships that can last a  lifetime. Of course you can get tired of each othet from time to time, but those moments pass. After all, every member is in the same sitiuation: hundreds of miles from home, working towards the same goal every day. The friendships you form in drum corps can be the strongest and longest lasting relationship you may ever have. The only way to truly know drum corps is to be in a drum corp. It is this tricky duality that makes it difficult to describe and yet exciting to participate in, because every day is a new chance to get better, go further and learn more.
