Just curious about what key horn you've played in drum corps.

I don't really care too much about drum corps being defined by the key of the horn, but I'm wondering how many now involved in drum corps have ever played on a G bugle.

Not asking which you think is better or worse. Which is louder or whatever. You can beat that dead horse some more if you want.

I just want to see how many posters have real experience with one or both. Now, if you've picked up a G bugle and played a scale on it, that doesn't count and vice versa.

I've marched multiple seasons on both. (Check Sig)

Only G for me!

All bari for 3 years on 2 valves in the junior circuit (DEG, if I remember correctly) and for 2 years on 3 valves in the senior circuit (Kanstul).

Although, I do a lot of trumpet playing. I have only played G bugle in drum corps.

11 years on G bugles. The first 10 on two valves, the last on three valve.

Why did you decide to exclude to instruments in the key of C (modern day pit instruments/historical equivalents).

my rookie and only year at this point was with a Div 2 corps on G bugles. I plan on marching again which would be with bFLat

Well, I was just asking about horns. Like the kind they play on the field. Behind the pit. You blow into them.

However, I added the etc. because of the possibility of Eb, F, C or whatever other key horns may be used.
