Navillus WP Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Just don't call them late for practice (sorry, rehearsal). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayre Kulp Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 By definition, ALL drum corps ARE bands; just not all bands are drum corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2B or not 2B Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 (edited) Just don't call them late for practice (sorry, rehearsal). I know when one thing for sure. When " I " hear the phrase " Bugle Band ". The Very First thing I Think of is. The most famous of them all, "Scout House Bugle Band" Preston, Ontario, Canada. Ever since they were announced at the first, "Preview of Champions" (that I attended) in Roosevelt Stadium, Jersey City, NJ in 1962. I don't know if it was their, Style, Uniforms, or Sound. But, don't think Anyone had problem with them being called that. Even us Now:Old, Crusty, Traditionalist. Maybe they were not going to win. Going up against Corps like Garfield, BS Golden Knights, St. Kevin's and the like. BUT, everyone seemed to Love them (and still do with the Alumni Corps).

VOReason Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 When should you call a drum and bugle corps a drum and bugle band?? When they start using bugles again. Right now they are all just bands. Not that this is a bad thing... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 When they start using bugles again. Right now they are all just bands. Not that this is a bad thing... If I recall correctly, South Africa in particular, in certain countries on the African continent drum corps are called drum and bugle bands (or something similar) simply because the term "corps" is a word that is associated with the military; and being thought to be associated with the military in that area of the world sometimes is not a good thing.
