The only thing I can think of would be endurance enhancing substances.

Drum corps is often described as an athletic activity.  Athletes are often drug tested.  It's conceivable that certain substances can increase alertness, endurance, oxygen utilization, etc... all things that could provide an advantage in this activity.

I don't see something like blood doping helping much....certainly not at the top levels.

Me either, but I think this is all just speculation anyways. I don't see anything helping either. Healthy diets maybe, but no substances.

Does the activity have a problem of some gaining an advantage by using performance enhancing substances?

Haha absolutely not. There's more of a concern for just giving these kids enough to eat than them doping up for band.

I'm not saying at the organizational level, but at the individual and small group level.
