likeoldandnew78 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Was talking about company jargon with someone at work the other day and I wondered what are some of the "Drum Corps" only things people not within the activity would not understand. For Ex: Where did you march?-anyone in the activity would know exactly what you were talking about but someone outside would have no clue what that meant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdostie Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 (edited) Was talking about company jargon with someone at work the other day and I wondered what are some of the "Drum Corps" only things people not within the activity would not understand. For Ex: Where did you march?-anyone in the activity would know exactly what you were talking about but someone outside would have no clue what that meant Dated, but here are a few: Off-the-line: The piece and/or section of drill at the beginning of the show where you start (off the line of course). Into-Concert, the piece and/or section of drill where you move to position to play the "concert" or standstill piece. Reentry - the piece and/or section of drill moving out of the "concert piece" Exit - the piece and/or section of drill where you move to your final spot on the field to "exit." Company Front - The whole corps moving forward toward the stands, usually in a climax - almost always included in part of "Exit."

BigDale Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 For Ex: Where did you march?-anyone in the activity would know exactly what you were talking about but someone outside would have no clue what that meant And when they say a corps and you ask "what years did you march" and you get that blank look..they most likely did not march at Nationals or complete the year. It is a dead giveaway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M&M = marching and maneuvering, as opposed to "visual". Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastone Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 You can add M&M to that. M&M = marching and maneuvering, as opposed to "visual".Ray Today M&M means money and members, if you ain't got them, you have no drum corps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
