Triple Forte Posted December 10, 2007 Author Share Posted December 10, 2007 Who says it has to be an official school? Basically everyone is always learning from staff members at drum corps, so drum corps is basically a school for visual/performing arts. Therefore both definitions would apply.

HornlineDiva Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Semantics: When you just want to ##### about something.... I'm willing to play this game. School: 1: an organization that provides instruction: as a: an institution for the teaching of children from m-w.com So, since children do participate in drum corps, and if you want to include young adults as children....... faculty, staff, and tuition it is.

Triple Forte Posted December 10, 2007 Author Share Posted December 10, 2007 Okay...Why would they join a "drum" corps if they're in the guard? And why call it "drum and bugle" corps if there are no more bugles? Why not call it a "brass, percussion and visual ensemble team"? I am sure you are aware Mike (Just as I am) the days of calling our activity "Drum and Bugle corps" (At least in DCI) are limited. Can you hear it.....the clock is ticking.

Caballero Member of the lowest level of the knightly class, acquiring status and tax exemptions by the ownership of a horse and its use in combat. (with all due respect to the FINE organization from New Jersey), should they REALLY be misleading the public considering most of them don't own a horse?

GASP. I was just going to post this. I mean, if we're all for strict by-the-book definitions, than a drum corps could in theory be described as a "school." Point is, this is a silly argument about semantics, and I don't understand why it's such a big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
