And there was at least one female contra in all the corps I marched in. Granted, the same female contra marched in three of my corps, but it still counts! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erie Thunderbirds had female snare ca 1976/77. Les Ambassadeurs had an all female "triple" line in 77 or 78 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best Drumline in the Country in 1956 ( pre DCI ) was an ALL FEMALE Drumline ( The Audubon, N.J " Bon Bon's". Drum Corps ). They beat every single all Male Drumline in the Country they faced that season at Championships. The Snare Drum National Champion in the Individual Snare Drum AL National Championships in 1957 was a Female.

BRASSO Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) DCI is slowly moving away from an All Male, " Good Ol Boy " network where Males for decades in DCI completely dominated show design programming positions in Corps, the DCI judging ranks, the DCI and Corps BOD's, and the Executive Directorship positions, and the like. There is still much work to be done to bring DCI Drum Corps into the 21st century of gender inclusion and diversity in key decision making roles. But recently, outreach by DCI has been seen taking shape, ( even at DCI HQ ), and inroads of inclusion and diversity progressivism are slowly, but surely taking place in several quarters of DCI the last 12--24 months, imo.
