The difference between marching band and drum corps...
1.) what marching band do you know of that has their drum major carry a firearm at his side during a show?
2.) what marching band do you know of that has delved into the world of temptation and sex?
3.) what marching band do you know of who can pull off a religious show without fear of repercussion for violating the separation of church and state?

My DCI World DVD just came in and I watched this show first.
The company front gives me MUCHO chills everytime.
Might rival Star '90 finale, Madison '99 Perc Feature into the never-ending chord progressions, or Boston 2000's ballad.

If they're called contras still, why don't ANY of the instrument companies sell them under that name anymore?
Just wondering, since I am contra player from the late 90's, as well as a person that has worked with corps and still works with marching band, and when were ordered equipment, they listed them as tubas....should we get out money back?
Just wondering?
What voicing is that Tuba in? And, what design?
Most marching tubas that schools buy today, are sold under the tuba name as a convertible with vertical valves and an extension lead pipe for marching, and horizontal valves for concert. The voice of that tuba is the contrabass. Otherwise, call it a sousaphone.
Some links that might help you:

http://schools-wikipedia.org/wp/t/Tuba.htm (check out the variations subsection)
http://store.marchingstore.com/metalcontra.html (hell, even Hopkins calls them contras)
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qi...22185928AA1U76H (Student refers to BBb tuba as a bugle)
If you want to dig through any more sites, be my guest.
Bottomline- Mellophones, Baris, Euphs, and Tubas were all created for corps 50 years ago. These are bugles. Since trumpets and bugles are related as well, but a little bit further a part than the rest of the line to be called a "bugle", they are in essence the same type of soprano brass horn. The rest are bugles in Bb/F, definitively.
End of story. Thanks for playing. However, your trap is a common one to fall into. Kinda like a sublet of drum corps vs. marching band. "well, you played on a tuba, but 'I' played on a CONTRA!"
Total bull.

the ensemble sheet has been posted before. but i have to laugh every time I think of Crown at Allentown with the pit cranked at 30 and they got a 19.2
But Cadets' amps go to 11.

I have a good one.
Housing site in Rome New York.
I went to take a shower. I had gotten undressed, put on some flip-flops, and grabbed my shampoo and gel.
As I started walking to the actual shower, from the locker room, I began to notice something odd. The shower itself seemed to be a long tight row, like a small hallway, with cream tiles. I thought it was weird, and so did my corps mates. Then, we heard the sound of distant running water. Deciding to investigate, we traveled down the small hallway, only to be confronted with another showerhead filled hallway. Guess what was at the end of that shower hallway? MORE HALLWAYS!!! After finding even more showerhead filled hallways, we wound our way through a twisting, turning labyrinth maze to find the center room.
Craziest ####### shower Ive ever seen. I mean, who creates a shower like that. Must have been the #### druids again!
I don't trust the Irish!

I would like to repost my previous answer:
See those shiny CONTRAS, baritones, euphoniums, and mellophones that corps use (some bands too) and are pitched in Bb/F?
Yeah, those are bugles.
Bugles were originally Bb instruments. Bb Field Bugles were standard during the civil war. When drum & bugle corps were diversifying their voices, they came up with the Mellophone (Alto), Baritone (Tenor), Euphonium (Baritone), Contrabass Tuba (Bass) instruments, pitched in G. Pretty soon, bands wanted a version as well, so the instrumental companies made them, and they were pitched in Bb/F. Either than the trumpet, every instrument that a band or corps carries today that was derived from the drum corps voicing is a bugle. A Bb Bugle.
Oh, and bananaphone.

Band of Atlanta.
Personally, I prefer Spirit of Bandanna.

unlike drum corps vs band?

Close... but not fully accurate, ie not all " Drum Corps " march.
Yes, some of them sit in chairs and win DCI championships.
-
Okay here is my issue... why wouldn't they add trombones before woodwinds... like really, there is NO RESPECT FOR TROMBONE PLAYERS in the marching arts. It really hurts my feelings. We can do fancy little moves so we don't kill people, and we can steal peoples shakos and floppy hats
I am going to write a rule proposal. I think I might go message George on facebook.

Troublemakers of WCU, you whole lot!

I just wanted to be involved in this ridiculousness somehow.
Where's your hungry cereal picture?
I'm upset. I want a banana.

bananas are also very useful during a drum and bugle corps tour...
SPLOOIE!

I would go, but I sure a hell would find a way to get in free... I wouldn't pay a single cent to step foot in that stadium for a marching event.
Take the secret tunnel, under the Holiday Inn.

No. a " trumpet " is not a " bugle " Therefore, a unit that utilizes " trumpets " has most asssuredly moved away from the " Drum and Bugle Corps " characterization.
Yes, but a mellophone is a bugle, even if it is in F.
-
OR, a high school band, with the same instrumentation as a drum and bugle corps......
mini corps.
unless they march
-
accept if attendance goes down, there is less money
I dont see this as happening short of a formal movement and boycott.
Not going to happen. People are still going to go, because they want to. Even if the sound sucks.
Sure, it'll be a few thousand less, but at least DCI saved on office space.
-
So can a high school band that carries only contras, baris, euphs, mellos and trumpets be called a drum corps?
What other instrumentation do they have?
If you say none, then the answer is no, it is a bugle corps (lack of drums). If they add pit perc, battery, and brass, then they are a drum and bugle corps.
Just when you think DCI can't #### you off anymore...
