The UN-official Drum Corps Dictionary


Recommended Posts

Loosen up, this is nothing official, were just having fun. The point of this thread is too learn what some of the differences are.

I'm sorry...I dont recall saying anything about this discussion being 'wrong.' Maybe you should loosen up how you read posts.

Corps Heads: Those who think they know everything and anything about the activity.

Fun Run - When one section runs by themselves because there is insufficient time for a breathing block.

Yard Sale Day - When the entirety of the lost and found is spread out on the ground, and anything is up for grabs.

Scaffolding Crew- how to get out of basics

Junior Staff- member who tries to clean other houses when theirs is dirty.

Free day- instead of 2 3 and a half hour blocks and a show, 1 5 hour block, laundry, and a few free hours.

blah... I was always up before the corps was to put that stupid thing up. We only missed rehearsal if something went wrong higher up than us (admin choosing fields or field liners lining them). Sometimes we missed the only stretch of the day though :smile:

HELP THE PIT!- Roughly translated, this means that a tornado is bearing down on the rehearsal field and it's time to run for our lives because the staff ignored the constant tornado warnings that were issued. This is also probably the only time that the pit will get help from the rest of the corps in quickly moving all pit related flotsam.

Tour Le: French for tour lay. Boyfriend/girlfriend only for tour.
