I think they got around it by not mentioning what pieces of music were played --- one group would play some insanely incredible beautiful music and then the next one would go can't litigate if you can't list it

how did drum corps do it before having travel agencies? "hi Bob, we're going to be in your town on June 18th, can we stay at your school that night?"

In all seriousness - there is some great music happening and it's enjoyable for free on youtube

I would like to notify all legal authorities that the NABBA championships are being streamed right now for free on youtube and I am sure there is no way all copyright requirements are being met. Publishers and copyright holders are being injured right now as we speak. This can not be allowed to happen. I demand that all copyright enforcement personnel descend on Fort Wayne Indiana and stop this blatant copyright infringement.

nice! I was more going for actual corps songs... if that's still a thing....

Here's one...

Nice interview with Chris Martin - principle trumpet with New York Phil - Son of DCI HOF member Freddy Martin/Spirit of Atlanta He mentions growing up around DCI Good interview -- That's not spit, it's condensation #200: Chris Martin - NY Phil Principal Trumpet's Practice System

best sounding mic'd solo instrument - as demonstrated by overwhelming use in BOA of mic'd flute soloists - Like Daffy always said, "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!"

and if you like Mummers, check out Morris dancers -- to get back to British Brass Banding - it came across many of our radars with the movie Brassed Off - kind of a band version of Strictly Ballroom I'm sure hip drum corps designers have been following brass band arrangers and composers forever -

The best thing about brass banding is it's intended to be a life long activity - it has all the passionate group bonding/loyalty aspects of old drum corps - people are incredibly invested in their favorite groups - as close or closer than family - just like it used to be in DCI -
