-
- 1.0 What is drum corps?
-
- Drum corps is an abbreviation for drum and bugle corps. During
- the competitive season, corps from all across the US and Canada perform
- to crowds of up to 35,000. The closest kind of group to a drum corps that
- is not a drum corps is the marching band, but the performance levels of
- the top drum corps is in general higher than top marching bands.
-
- The music. Drum corps do NOT play Sousa marches or "um-pa-pa"
- music. The repertoires of modern drum corps consist of classical,
- jazz, contemporary, and symphonic literature. Broadway musicals are
- also popular. Some organizations tend to play a single kind of music.
- For example, the Concord Blue Devils tend to play jazz each year, while
- the Phantom Regiment plays classical music each year. Gone are the days
- of sitting on the 50 yardline playing the theme from "Rocky" and Stars
- and Stripes Forever (which used to be common in both drum corps and
- marching bands). The music is arranged by professionals. The brass and
- percussion instructors are among the best in the country. There are
- many college music professors involved in the activity.
-
- The drill. Drills are also designed by professional artists and
- choreographers. Smooth curves during delicate passages and sharp angles
- during aggressive passages accent the presentation of the music. Color
- and dance also add to the interpretation of the music. The drill and the
- music are integrated into a whole (unlike many field shows one sees at a
- typical halftime show) in a constantly moving show.
-
- There are three sections of a drum corps: the brass, the percussion,
- and the color guard. In part 5 of the FAQ, a more detailed description is
- given on what type of instrumentation is allowed in the brass and percussion
- sections. The color guard (a misnomer in today's performances) is the group
- of performers who handle the flags and other props that visually enhance the
- performance. They typically do quite a bit of dancing and equipment work.
-
- Forget about any experiences you've had with high school and college
- marching bands. Drum corps is a completely different activity, and any
- music-lover ought to consider seeing a show towards the end of the season.
-
- 1.0.1 DCI and DCA
-
- There are many organizations devoted to promoting and organizing the
- drum and bugles corps activity world-wide. Many of these are listed below
- in section 1.2. But the two major organizations in North America are DCI
- (Drum Corps International) and DCA (Drum Corps Associates).
-
- DCI supervises the major junior drum and bugle corps circuit in North
- America. Junior drum and bugle corps are restricted to members 21 years of
- age or younger. Most drum and bugle corps in fall into this general catagory.
- DCI corps march in the DCI circuit during the months of July and August every
- year. The DCI season culminates with the DCI World Championships.
-
- DCA differs from DCI in a number of respects. DCA corps are often
- called Senior corps and are open to people of any age. DCA runs its own
- circuit, too which culminates in the DCA Championships over Labor Day
- weekend each year. In this FAQ, the information on DCA corps has been
- grouped together in Section 6. The DCA information is maintained and
- updated by Martin Cross (crossm@pt.Cyanamid.Com).
-
- 1.0.2 Drum Corps International
-
- The official organization devoted to organizing the junior drum and
- bugle corps activity in North America is called Drum Corps International
- (DCI). DCI and its Board of Directors plan the summer performance
- schedules, coordinate judging, host regional competitions, and run the
- DCI World Championships during the third week of August every summer.
- It is roughly analogous to the NCAA for college athletics. DCI was
- organized in 1972 as a reaction to the "harsh" way the VFW (Veterans of
- Foreign War) and AL (American Legion) were governing the activity.
-
- DCI publishes a quarterly newsletter called DCI Today. It is a must
- for any drum corps fan. Tickets to any DCI Regional or the DCI Championships
- can be ordered by calling the number listed below.
-
- DCI Today

- 4th class bulk rate - $6.00 (lifetime subscr. - delivery not guaranteed)
-
- 1.0.3 Drum Corps World
-
- Drum Corps World (DCW) is the only independent publication devoted
- to the drum and bugle corps activity world-wide. The editor is Steve Vickers,
- and DCW prides itself on providing nearly complete coverage of drum corps
- competitions every summer as well as news during the winter. The magazine
- is expensive due to it limited circulation but well worthwhile for the serious
- drum corps fan.

-
- 1.0.4 Scorelines
-
- Every summer, several drum and bugle corps set up their own individual
- scoreline to allow drum corps fans to get daily updates on scores. These
- scorelines are free except for any long distance costs. In addition, DCI
- has a telephone number 1-900-CALL-DCI that can also be used for daily score
- updates. The cost for this call is $1.50/1st min, $0.95 for each additional
- minute.
-
- Here are some of the scoreline phone numbers compiled during the 1994 season:
-
- DCI Scoreline 1-900-CALL-DCI

-
- 1.1 Drum corps on-line
-
- 1.1.1 History of drum corps on-line
-
- The first on-line drum corps newletter that I am aware of was called
- Off-The-Line (The Marching Arts List). It was administered by several
- people, most recently by DJ Foremsky. In March of 1992, Michael Fath
- (mjfath@midway.uchicago.edu) formed an alt newgroup called alt.drumcorps.
- The success of alt.drumcorps resulted in the demise of Off-The-Line, since
- most people on the list had access to UseNet and discussion moved there.
- After nine months of activity, readers of alt.drumcorps held an RFD and CFV
- to create a mainstream newsgroup for drumcorps discussion. The vote was run
- by Phil Earnhardt and Michael Fath and held during November, 1992. The vote
- was successful and two groups were formed in the hierachy Rec.arts.marching.*.
- Rec.arts.marching.drumcorps and Rec.arts.marching.misc were created on UseNet
- in December, 1992. As of April, 1995, over 29,000 messages have posted to
- Rec.arts.marching.drumcorps, and the volume continues to increase monthly.
-
- 1.1.2 Rec.arts.marching.drumcorps (RAMD)
-
- The home for most all drum corps discussion on the Internet is the
- newsgroup Rec.arts.marching.drumcorps. The newsgroup is often abbreviated
- RAMD. There are four other newsgroups in the rec.arts.marching.* hierarchy.
- They are:
- rec.arts.marching.colorguard
- rec.arts.marching.band.college
- rec.arts.marching.band.high-school
- rec.arts.marching.misc
- If you are interested in any other of the marching arts besides drum corps,
- check out these related newsgroups.
-
- 1.1.3 Drumcorps mailing list
-
- A Drumcorps-Digest mailing list was created by Mark Baushke
- (mdb@cisco.com) to allow people without access to UseNet to receive a daily
- digest of articles that appear in the newsgroups alt.drumcorps,
- alt.colorguard, rec.arts.marching.drumcorps and rec.arts.marching.colorguard,
- as well as being able to post articles via e-mail to those same newsgroups.
-
- Be advised that Drumcorps-Digest is a MajorDomo@cisco.com controlled
- mailing list. If you wish to subscribe (receive) Drumcorps-Digest messages,
- you may send a message to MajorDomo@cisco.com with a line
-
- subscribe drumcorps-digest
-
- in the body of the message. If you wish to unsubscribe from the list
- send a message to MajorDomo@cisco.com with a line
-
- unsubscribe drumcorps-digest
-
- Other administrative requests, such to have your address changed,
- should be directed to drumcorps-digest-owner@cisco.com.
-
- In addition, an address has been created which will post email sent
- to it to rec.arts.marching.drumcorps. This address is:
- rec-arts-marching-drumcorps@cisco.com . There is also an e-mail address for
- rec.arts.marching.colorguard. This address is:
- rec-arts-marching-colorguard@cisco.com .
-
- Remember that all administrative requests should be sent to
- drumcorps-digest-owner@cisco.com, NOT to rec-arts-marching-drumcorps@cisco.com.
-
- Any replies you wish to make to newsgroup postings you read in
- the digest can be made simply by sending e-mail to the appropriate address.
- The digest software runs an NNTP reader client once per day which will read
- all previously unread articles in the group and package them as a single
- e-mail message. If there are no new articles, or the news machine is
- down, then you will not get any articles that day. If you have not seen a
- digest in more than three days, you might want to send e-mail to the
- administrivia address to have Mark look into any problems.
-
- 1.1.4 FTP site for drum corps information
-
- There is currently no r.a.m.d FTP site.
-
- The FAQs can be accessed on the web at:
- <http://www.faqs.org/faqs/drumcorps-faq/>
-
- Historical scores and schedules, starting with the 1995 season, are
- available at the sCORPSboard web site ( part of CyberCorps) at:
- <http://www.halcyon.com/caryn/cyber/scorpsboard.html>
-
-
- 1.1.5 Cybercorps
-
- In 1997 we are again requiring $1 (US) or MORE to be sent in to form a
- scholarship fund. In 1996 we awarded a $350 scholarship. If everyone
- who reads this note will send just $1, we will be able to help many
- drum corps members, not just one.
-
- Previous members must Re-Signup for 1997.
-
- As the season winds down, and the signal-to-noise ratio on RAMD does
- likewise, there are voices springing up, complaining about when the
- newsgroup used to mean something and that it no longer does. Whether
- you agree or disagree with these voices is irrelevant to the following
- information.
-
- There is a way for your involvement on RAMD to have a concrete, positive
- impact on the drum corps activity. For 1996, approximately 60
- people contributed a total of $350, which went as a scholarship to a
- young man named Michael Yager, allowing him to march his final year
- with the Boston Crusaders. I can personally state that getting to meet
- Michael at DCI Finals this year, and knowing that I played a small part
- in his being there, is one of my finest memories in drum corps. You
- can feel the same way, and I hope you join us. The organization that
- puts the scholarships together is called Cybercorps.
-
- CyberCorps Frequently Asked Questions
-
- Thanks to Paul Herzog on RAMD for the following FAQs!
-
- What is Cybercorps?
-
- Cybercorps is simply a group of people on the Internet who
- have a love for drum corps. We have gotten together and formed a
- "virtual corps" whose purpose is to have fun, support drum and bugle
- corps, and meet with other members as the opportunity arises.
- Cybercorps is real, we have a drum major, all the basic instruments,
- and a staff. Cybercorps exists for those who have aged out, did not
- get to march, can't march, or do actually march in a DCI corps, but
- still want to share an allegiance with other fellow RAMDers. We
- (the members and staff) basically meet at DCI shows by wearing
- T-shirts printed each year. That way you can put a face to the
- names you see flying about on the net every day you read your news
-
- The Cybercorps list is kept by Paul Herzog at pdherzog@hooter.aud.alcatel.com.
-
- Does Cybercorps have auditions?
- Yes. People who wish to join Cybercorps should email the following
- information to Paul Herzog at pdherzog@hooter.aud.alcatel.com
-
- 1) your full name (as you'd like it to appear on something semi-official, like a T-shirt).
- 2) a valid EMAIL address.
- 3) a single position (instrument, guard or staff, etc.) for you to fill.
-
- Once your Audition email is received, Paul will email you back with
- an address and instructions. You then need to send him the grand
- sum of $1 (US) or more. All this money will be used to present a
- scholarship at the DCI World Championships for the present year.
- Periodically he will post all contributors and their amounts as an
- audit. Persons wanting to remain anonymous can also request same and
- will be posted as a group.
-
- The membership cutoff date separating one year from the next shall
- be when T-shirts are ordered each spring.
-
- Paul "Hooter" Herzog
- Cybercorps Scholarship Committee Chairman
-
- What can I play/spin/etc?
-
- It doesn't matter what you know for an instrument or guard
- equipment. Heck, people who in reality play horns could be in the
- guard, and vice-versa. Thus, you aren't limited to a piece of
- equipment you already know! Pick something you always wished you
- could do.
-
- You can select more specific positions, like 4th Soprano or
- Pit Gong or Guard Rifles etc. Just keep it to a standard Corps
- position. We don't want to see 58 Soloists unless it's
- Cymbal Soloists :)
-
-
- Where does Cybercorps meet?
-
- Cybercorps has a Virtual Rehearsal Site at a GlobalMush site
- at Erol's Internet Service in Springfield, VA. To reach to the Cybercorps
- Virtual Rehearsal site, telnet to 207.96.1.12 4201
-
- Detailed instructions about how to find the Rehearsal site are available
- from the WWW page <http://www.halcyon.com/caryn/cyber/what.html#detail>.
-
- Note to members who have not logged onto GlobalMUSH for a while: GlobalMUSH
- is no longer a MUSH but is currently running TinyMUX 1.1.1, (although they
- retain the GlobalMUSH name for historical reasons) so there will be some
- minor changes in coding and/or commands. Two examples: sending mail has
- changed (see instructions below), and color is available for those with color
- monitors (but not for all MAC users). Type @set me=ansi<CR> to set your
- character to see color. To check if this setting works for you, the text and
- description of 'The Bus!' at the CyberCorps Moonbase should appear in full
- color. :-). Whatever, have fun!
-
- When you are done, type: QUIT.
-
- That's it. Want to join? Audition as described above.
