Benny_4 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Band is drum corps and drum corps is band!Prove me wrong! Thanks for the challenge! 1. There exists 2 seperate orginazations for marching band and drum corps (DCI and BOA)2. In marching band, woodwinds are allowed. In drum corps, there is no such thing (yet )3. Drum corps is not sponsored by schools.4. Drum corps allows kids within the general age range of 13-22 to participate. Marching band is restricted to the confines of high school. Thats all I can think of for now. Btw, if you're talking about the "cross-polination" of the two activites, I believe that it has been taken way to far! Thanks, George. What was once a beautiful, pure experience will now be ruined by mics on a baritone and synths in the pit. At least the sound board thing got shot down. Bottom line: BOA should be BOA. DCI should be DCI. There are ways for the activity to grow without implementing electronics and the such. Then again, maybe I'm crazy!

nothingbetter Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Drum corps became marching band when they began to play instruments? Now I say marching band as in the form that high schools and colleges use, not in the form that drum corps is. but... since when has marching band given the marcher the same family and bonds as drum corps? since when has marching band contained a group of 135 (150 next year...) individuals that shared the same amount of determination and passion for something?

ajawon Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 not to mention drum corps is a h*** of alot harder and more attention is paid to detail than any other "marching ensemble" out there.............by far. There's no comparison in quality and you're in for a mind check if you think there is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
