bpmftw Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Drum corps has, in my opinion, evolved in to something that is very demanding on the human body. Many times you'll see corps that present drill that has members moving up to 200 bpm and beyond while performing some fairly intense drill. I think it is VERY important to prepare for this in order to stay healthy on tour. Currently, I run almost everyday for around 30 minutes outside while listening to my favorite shows. I'm still in the process of working out sodas from my diet as well as other fattening products. I am doing this because I will be marching my age-out this coming summer. This will be my 3rd and last and I need to do what it takes now to survive later. What will you be doing? -Dalton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiBlueStar Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Wise thinking there. I think all you need to do is watch a bunch of videos on YouTube. Then you'll have all the knowledge and strength you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are a brass player, maybe you could even push air through the sections in the shows you are listening to when your selected instrument plays, at the same time while you are jogging? (of course, not actually with your instrument, you may get some strange looks) Edited August 15, 2012 by ATXGUY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCImonkey Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I'll be sitting on the couch watching DVD's and eating potato chips. Best part about being too old to march.....I can be as fat as I want to be now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
