Drum Corp
Many of the top marching musicians of a region participating in an event similar to marching band, but different in the fact that it uses only brass and percussion instruments.
Woodwinds (
clarinets,
flutes, saxophones, etc) are excluded from drum corps. Akin to marching band on steroids, and providing an unforgettable and powerfull experiance to it's members.

bandos will say,
Drum Corps is not "marching band on steroids," but a totally beast than both college or high school marching bands. It requires immense amounts of both time and energy to march in a drum corps, and is a truly amazing experience for all Corps Members.

1.) A sport in which a large group of people,often
135 people, aged 15-21 play brass and percussion instruments while marching a strenous drill. There are also non-instrumental performers known as
colorguard, which produces effect for the show using various devices, often flags, rifles,

1. One of the best unrecognized sports in the world. Including mostly brass instruments,
colorguard and a pit.
2. A 'professional'
marching band so to speak that tours the USA for weeks at a time. Sleeping on gym floors, riding on
busses, and being fed after spending long strenuous hours in the sun for marching rehersals.
Example:
Hey
Otto, did you catch that kick ass
marching drum corp show during the
DCI finals?

n.
A musical genre which uses drums as its only instrument or drums and other instruments.
Drum corps may be marching or non-marching. Use of the term to describe more complex
instrumentation combinations may be either a commonly-used shorthand within the particular genre, or a misapplication of the term as a result of ignorance or misinformation. The specific type of
drum corps depends upon the type or types of drums used, the presence of other instruments, and the character and history of the specific genre. See also fife and drum corps,
drum and bugle corps, pipe and drum corps.

n.
singular:
corps (pronounced CORE)
plural: corps (pronounced
CORZ)
A military-styled marching music
fraternal genre, epitomized by Canadian and American corps sponsored by veterans organizations primarily between the 1920s and the 1970s, and still in existence today.
Bugles are bell-front brass instruments with or without horizontal valves or slides used to change pitch, and unlike bands the entire hornline is in the same key, usually G. Drums are marching drums, primarily snares and bass drums. Color guards most closely resemble military honor guards.
