Drum Corps events this summer! Band geek here just wanting to tell you about the Drum Corps International tournaments happening this summer accross the country. Here is the U.S. calendar: http://www.dci.org/calend...05/01/2007 Check out the website http://www.dci.org/ I recommend going at least once. The tournaments are great, especially when the sun goes down and the big corps perform! [Edited 5/15/07 22:01pm] | |

My college band modeled themselves after Blue Devils (they're in the video at about 5:56). We have the same marching instructer, drum instructer, and music arranger. Many of our members are members of Blue Devils also (including our drum major who was also their drum major). Funny thing is Santa Clara Vanguard and Blue Devils are from the same area and are rivals. I always preferred SCV, but would never say that to anyone  [Edited 5/18/07 0:27am] | |

An acquaintance of mine is a judge for DCI. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

[Edited 5/18/07 0:27am] I was in Vanguard for like a second. I was going to be in B Corp because I had never played brass before. I was a saxophone player. I didn't make the effort.

This is so cool. I didn't think I would find any drum corp fans here. I marched with the Bridgemen from 1976 through 1980. | |

I recorded this with my camera and my t.v. I know, I know, but it was the best I could do. I only have a VHS copy. This is my favorite. The drum solo. Excuse the music, it wasn't the greatest musical performance. It w as New Years day and we were all drunk.....and under age.
