GmenBari78 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 (edited) wow, you'd think it was the off season or sumfin'... ;) marching, does drum corps do that anymore? band, usually means a group of woodwinds, brass, and percussion, altho can sometimes refer to just brass and percussion ("brass band" for example) drum corps, what we call our "units" (can't call 'em drum and BUGLE corps anymore) = marching brass and percussion drum corps is marching band since band can be just brass not all marching bands are drum corps, however. Some of them are (those that are part of DCI, DCA, DCE, etc.). However, high school and university marching bands are not drum corps. edit: drum corps are a specialized type of marching band that not every marching band can claim to be.

GmenBari78 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 marching, does drum corps do that anymore? Perhaps we should call it "jazz-running band"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piper Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 .......I've seen marching band drumlines that are better than top 12 corps lines..... That one REALLY cracked me up. :P Now NAME them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piper Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I have a question. If Drum Corps were so assimilated to Marching Bands, then why would the owners of DCP have seperate websites for both? I think that we all know the answer to that.

markdewine Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Man, it used to be so simple to differentiate between corps and bands. Anyone remember when "Leave It To Beaver" was on TV? the Beaver-" W-Wally? What are those guys doin' over there on that football field?" Wally- "Gee Beaver, that's the high school marching band!" the Beaver- "Well, who are those OTHER guys marching on the OTHER football field?" Wally- "Well, I don't know Beave. Let's ask Dad. Cut to Cleaver's kitchen..... Ward Cleaver- "Boys, that's a drum and bugle corps! In fact, I used to march with them back when I was just about your age, Wally." the Beaver- "So, how come you didn't march with the high school band dad?" Wally- "Don't be so stupid Beave....marching bands SUCK!" Ward Cleaver- "That's right, Wally. Let this be a lesson to you Beaver. March drum corps." the Beaver- "Yeah, marching band SUCKS!" Fade to Alka-Seltzer commercial. :P b**bs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't people understand that Drum Corps can stand on it's own merits, without bashing marching band?
