We’re well into summer and it’s time for drum corps to hit the road!  For those who aren’t familiar, drum corps (or drum and bugle corps) are marching ensembles (brass, percussion, and color guard) that travel throughout the country each summer rehearsing and performing in different cities at competitions.
