Capital Regiment Drum & Bugle Corps - Columbus, Ohio
Description
Note: This information is an excerpt from an article a parent wrote (several years ago) for other parents whose children are interested in participating in a Drum & Bugle Corps. The content has been modified slightly to account for new rule changes and instrumentation rules now in place by Drum Corps International.
When our kids first got into high school band, we lived in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Each August we went to a Drum & Bugle Corps competition, and I thought drum and bugle corps were just for college music majors – “normal” kids need not apply. I’ve since learned how wrong I was. The Fort Wayne competition usually has about half of the top dozen corps in the country, certainly not the average corps. But there are many, many other corps that have much to offer “normal” kids. Let me share with you what I’ve learned.
There’s an incredible variety in Drum & Bugle Corps, based on ages, number of current members, musical and instructional style, philosophy, and so on. But there’s an even greater number of similarities. The one thing that has impressed me the most is the dedication to and practice of good sportsmanship. I’ve watched strong competitors encourage and assist each other in everything from playing skill and style to bus maintenance and meals.
