EllmerFUDD Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Much debate has occurred surrounding the “state of drum corps”. The debate has further developed into the current state of drum corps vs “some other” time period. Much of what has been written or suggested is that if drum corps would change what they are (creatively) doing and go back to an earlier "style/approach" drum corps would be better, it would start growing again and we the drum corps fan would enjoy it more. This discussion has led me to the following question: When exactly was drum corps at its creative best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
