SDCA looking for start of "concert" corps


Recommended Posts

As we have felt the pulse of drum corps in the Midwest SDCA has decided to now encourage a “Concert” type of drum corps. These corps will use music stands for all of their SDCA performances and they will do parades on a flatbed truck. The drum line will consist of one set drummer and there will be no color guard. We think this will be a more relaxed involvement for its members. No memorization of music or drills. Cost of operation will be minimal as only one instructor will be needed; music only. In every community there are many flat beds to use. They are free as the owners gets to advertise their company as they drive in the parade. We are now looking to you for your interest in starting up a “Concert” corps. SDCA can assist in all of your organizational needs.

Mass Brass has been doing this very concept since 2002...apparently they are now on to us! YIKES!!!

But. you were not alone.

The South Jersey Vagabonds have been doing this sort of thing for YEARS also !!! The Corps is based on the Pennsauken and Haddon Heights Vagabonds. Now meet in Magnolia, NJ. Anyone is allowed to join. and they OWN their own float for parades. Handicapped welcome space for wheel chairs and scooters and all.

The Selden Cadets Alumni have been doing this for the past seven years. The corps no longer does parades and we also use music stands. We rehearse every Tlhursday night at The Clubhouse of Suffolk, 939 Johnson Avenue, Ronkonkoma, NY from 7 - 9 PM.
