lcarlton Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 BUMP ^ for any questions. Soundsport is a great way for many classic corps to compete in a division that emphasizes crowd engagement, entertainment and mobility. Most Soundsport corps / teams perform heavily in their communities, and use their corps as a way to further music education and performance excellence. Many use G Bugles, have no amps or electronics, and are very affordable for members to become a member of the drum corps family. Some of the performing ensembles include: Phenom The Diplomats Rocketeers Southwind Medellin Gran banda (from Columbia) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
