	Drum and bugle corps (classic) Summary
		With the advent of the radio, bugle signaling units became obsolete and surplus equipment was sold to veteran organizations (such as the Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion, two major organizers for classic drum corps).
		Drum and bugle corps have often been mistaken for marching bands, since there is a similarity to both groups having horns and drums; and they are both essentially bands of musicians that march.
		Drum and bugle corps is, traditionally, a musical activity which extended the cameraderie of combat to a musical "battle" on (football)-sized fields.

	Drum and bugle corps (modern) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Cavaliers Drum and Bugle Corps, a DCI Division I corps from Rosemont, Illinois.
		A drum and bugle corps or drum corps (pronounced core in singular and cores in plural) is a musical marching unit, similar to a marching band, consisting of brass instruments, percussion instruments, and a color guard.
		Drum corps shows are generally more complex and more professional than marching band, as members in full-time touring corps have no distractions outside of corps during the season, instructional and creative staffs are the best in the activity, and membership is attained through highly competitive auditions.

	Bass drum at AllExperts
		In a drum kit, the bass drum is much smaller, most commonly 20" or 22" but sizes from 16" to 24" are quite normal, with depths of 14" to 18", although some brands have made 20" sizes.
		Double bass drum techniques were first used by artists such as Ray McKinley as far back as the 1940s, and then further pioneered by artists such as Louie Bellson in the 1950s and popularised in the 1960s by Ginger Baker of Cream and Keith Moon of the Who.
		The high tension drum heads allow this player to play notes that are just as taxing as those of the snare line, and often the top bass will play a part in unison with the snare line to add some depth to their sound.

	Drum and bugle corps - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Drum and bugle corps (classic) — such as those organized by the American Legion (AL) or the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), and "alumni corps" of those organizations

	Drum Corps International (DCI) -- The World's Top Drum and Bugle Corps
		Drum corps are split up into three different competitive divisions, which allow corps to select a touring schedule that works best with the corps’ financial and structural resources and educational philosophy.
		Lower-division corps are sometimes organized as development or cadet corps for their Division I sister groups, so that a member who begins in a developmental group at age 8 can spend their entire marching career with a single organization, aging out in the upper-level group.
		The entire drum corps experience is a massively rewarding one, and the shared bonds of having survived a summer tends to bind any two people in the activity together in a way that is hard for onlookers to understand.

	Drum and Bugle Corps or Marching Band?
		Drum and bugle corps are regulated by alphabet soup organizations (DCI, DCH, DCA); marching bands, whether they be college or high school, seldom have to answer to anyone other than their own school board.
		Drum corps members tend to be on the older side, as well.
		Because drum corps can pick and choose its members according to talent level (and because they beat you into the ground during practice), the average drum and bugle corps achieves a higher level of excellence than does the typical marching band, although I'm sure there are exceptions.
