Marching isn’t all that hard once you get the hang of it. I agree with you that it would be relatively hard to move to the United States to participate in a Drum Corp. I have never been in Drum Corp either because I’m in high school. I’m in my high school marching band. I’ll tell you about that sometime later as I’m at school right now. You can email me at thelonelysnare@yahoo.com.

hahaha....in my drumline there is only me on snare....so, I'm always lonely :P

Thanks. I have a question and I didn't know where else to post it. So here it is. Does anyone have any cadences that are written for 4 bass drums or that can be easily played with 4 bass drums (such as a 6 bass part that would still sound good on 4) I’ve been looking for some and I can’t find any that sound good on 4 basses and the ones that are written for 4 the tenor/snare parts suck. Also, they do not have to be full cadences they can be just bass cadences which is what we are doing with the ones that the tenor/bass parts are not that good. Thanks in advance.

Cool. I'm not really looking for a drum corp around here. If I do it, it will be The Academy because my aunt wants me to come to Arizona. So, it all works out. But, I've talked to people about DCI and it sounds like fun.

Hey, I’m new here. I’m 15 years old and I play snare drum in the marching band at our school. This year our band is doing fairly well. We had a competition on Saturday in which we placed first and got the best percussion caption. (http://www.tob.org/index05o.htm#10/16/04 Scroll down to about halfway where it says Eisenhower HS, Warren, PA. Our band is Eisenhower.) Our band is fairly small with only about 40 members. Our drum line consists of 1 snare (me) 1 quint player, and 4 basses. In a couple of years when I graduate my aunt who lives in Chandler, Arizona wants me to come live with her for the summer and participate in The Academy drum and bugle corp. I think it would be fun to be in DCI and everyone tells me I would be good at it. So, the other day I was looking up DCI stuff and I found this website. So here I am.
