Piper Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 "Bando" is the first thing that comes to mind, which to me means someone who isn't Drum Corps qualified. But DCI.org won't post that on their site because they know their owner (Hoppy) wouldn't like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigh...can the summer get here so we can talk about something that actually exists, instead of wasting time with lame jokes made by small minded people...

Bando is one who is currently in, or was a participating member in the marching band activity. There is an adjective form also. We were all Bandos once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGarrett Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 (edited) I was just gonna say... I know a lot of bandos who know a heck of a lot more than I do about drum corps. And I've been hangin' around this activity since 1974. It's all good in my book. Music = Love & Happiness in all it's forms.

TitanSop06 Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 The term Drum Corps itself. Nobody around here really knows what it is. They all think it means i play the drums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latrobe's Finest Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 Don't you drum corps people have "all days" and "move-in days", something to that effect?And I haven't heard "run through" yet. Certainly nobody out side drum corps would certain know what "Bones" is, or what a Z-pull is. Heck, nobody outside drum corps even know what "Phantom Regiment" is. My science room just got a skeleton, and I named it "Bones" in tribute to the Crossmen- the kids think it's just a stock name (skeleton=bones) but I told them that it actually means something and they should figure it out! ... which brings me to another drum corps term.. FITFO which is an acronym for "figure it the f out". I'm guessing that term isn't DCI wide, but I heard it a lot during the summer of '06!
