Harvey Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Hell, has anyone died doing drum corps? Not that I know of. Actually, yes. There was a corps from Skokie IL I believe that lost quite a few members back in the late 60's. Just recently, a Kiltie died while performing at DCA prelims.

ColtContra Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 (edited) This kinda study is exactly why I wrote the pre/off season workout book that a few corps use, including the ones I currently work for. I just don't have my doctorate and publish a lot of studies. Glad someone from the ACSM finally did!!!

CrunchyTenor Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 (edited) I just don't have my doctorate and publish a lot of studies. Well? You know, something else to consider regarding the band/drum corps vs football argument: Have you ever timed the actual amount of play in a 60 minute football game? A 10 minute band/drum corps show has more action. Garry in Vegas Edited June 5, 2009 by CrunchyTenor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamarag Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 You know, something else to consider regarding the band/drum corps vs football argument: Have you ever timed the actual amount of play in a 60 minute football game? A 10 minute band/drum corps show has more action. Sustained exertion, maybe. Burst exertion and contact? Not even close. Seriously, not even close.

perc2100 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 So Jim Rome mentioned marching band/drum corps on his show recently?! Interesting. I remember when the Capital Regiement/football team thing happened he went no a rant against drum corps/marching band as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitBos Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I believe it. Totally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess that less than 10 percent of the team spends more than 15 minutes on field during a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess that less than 10 percent of the team spends more than 15 minutes on field during a game. True, but from what I've seen before (both professional and some high schools), those 15 minutes can get kinda brutal. For example; look at Tom Brady, quarterback for the Patriots. He got hurt within like the first five minutes of their first game in the 2008-2009 season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
