Sportster Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I'd love to get my kids involved in Drum Corps like I was but there's just no starter corps even close to me. Growing up, I was in a local Corps that's long gone, Maple City Cadets. If not them we had the Saginaires, the Midshipmen, Guardsmen, a crapload of Corps out of Wisc. There were alot of them back then. Now heck.....sad, very sad. Activity definately isn't growing...that needs to change! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBadMadMan Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 Of the thousands of words I've seen written on this, the above is clear, well-reasoned, and based on actual data. Generously and well said. Wait, what actual data? Didn't see anything other than an opinion in that post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBadMadMan Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 I need to go back a few pages and update the list in my OP. I'll try to do that tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those small local corps were good for kids in there early to middle teens. I was in a small corps and it would teach these kids team work, responsibility and just how to get along with each other hour to hour day to day. It would be great to see some local corps spring-up. I might be living a pipe dream. It's sad, indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sad, indeed. sadly besides cost being prohibitive on many levels compared to BITD..kids today are amused more by their cell phones rather than looking for something to do in the community ( if it exsists anymore ) ask the boy scouts who have 1/2 the memberhip it had in the past, let alone all the community activities and clubs gone..new world my friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
