weedyweidenthal Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I do not know if this is still the case, but when I was at JSU in 2008, the Southerners had somewhere around 80-85 drum corps members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChwyNiblet Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I know UMass-Amhurst has/had a good amount. West Chester University also has its fair share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schickmeister Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Although it was a group of 325ish, the Penn State Blue Band had a lot when I was in it from 05-08. To name a few Me (See sig) SCV Mello/Section Leader BD trumpet Glassmen DM Crossmen/Bloo Tuba Some Crossmen guard Phantom Trumpet Cadets Snares Buncha Surf Buncha Bucs Some other DCA Crossmen Snare Cadets Bassline Some other that had marched in years prior too. Lots. Then there was the alumni Blue Band...that alumni drumlin had more rings than I could count. Awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouooga Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I do not know if this is still the case, but when I was at JSU in 2008, the Southerners had somewhere around 80-85 drum corps members. Was that when they were offering college credit for marching? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrunchyTenor Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 (edited) University of Southern North Dakota @ Hoople WOOF radio, from the campus of USNDH. I always loved it when they would broadcast live concerts, especially when the chamber orchestra would perform the Schleptet in Eb Major. Garry in Vegas PS I wonder if we could talk the Troopers into doing Oedipus Tex? Edited September 13, 2011 by CrunchyTenor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjeffeory Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 (edited) Which college marching bands have the most drum corps members/former members? Apparently The Ohio State University Marching Band is now a Drum Corps.... It's brass and percussion ONLY. Not guard.... Not even a pit ( most of the time). So 230ish? Since 1976, the band's membership has held steady at 225 marching members. The band's instrumentation is unique among college bands, patterned after the traditional British military brass band. The 192-piece block band consists of the following instrumentation: 10 E-flat Cornets 44 B-flat Trumpets 18 Flugelhorns 24 Mellophones 24 Slide Trombones 24 Baritone Horns 24 Sousaphones 12 Snare Drums 4 Bass Drums 4 Pairs of Cymbals 4 Quadra-Toms In addition, each of the 16 rows has two alternates with the exception of one additional alternate in one of the percussion rows (one alternate each on quints/tenors, cymbals, and bass drum) to bring the total to 33 alternates.

Son says around 10-15 from JSU marched DCI last summer. There were probably more when JSU was directly connected to Spirit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
