In 2019 that’s probably a true statement but to say it’s “ALWAYS” been marching band is absurd especially to those of us that did both.

But for an alleged drum corps person to say that to another drum corps person.......and to imply it’s “always been that way” and we’re not to think any different is asinine.

That you used “alleged” is also an issue. It’s not good enough to be a fan. You must have been in a corps for X number of years to be a real drum corps person. It’s why drum corps won’t pick up many new fans - it’s mostly a closed group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some joined because it was something different as they didn’t really know what drum corps was anyway. All good as they enjoyed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that, and from my point of view to call drum corps “band” is an insult even though that’s where I started too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but that doesn't mean there's no value in making distinctions. All drum corps are marching bands. All marching bands are not drum corps. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
