Drum Corps regional event is midpoint of grueling season
KALAMAZOO — A 24/7 touring commitment for the summer. Sleeping on gym floors night after night. Repeated rehearsals in sweltering heat for some 30 competitions.
More than 2,000 North American and international students, ages 14-22, can think of no better way to spend their summer.
Drum Corps International is a nonprofit youth organization serving as the umbrella group to junior drum and bugle corps here and abroad. Corps of brass, percussion and color-guard members compete from June through mid-August, when true glory awaits the winners Aug. 9-13 in Foxboro, Mass., where the world championships take place.
