Historical Drum Corps Publications
A permanent home to share my family collection of Drum Corps publications. My Mom started this collection in the 40s. This is my labor of love. I hope you all enjoy these articles / scores / pictures... as much as we have over the decades. History must be preserved. This is my lil corner / contribution to the drum corps community (online). A place for all of us to live, relive, learn, love and share in our passionate hobby. Please feel free to add comments, share your experiences, stories, etc.

The melding of young people and music in the public eye. The beat, tempo, dynamics, precision of marching routines, the demonstrated:
selflessness in preparation
committment to the unit
exultation of competition
singlemindedness
and at times physical sacrifice
for which athletic teams are applauded and without the performance of inspirational music
to soothe or excite the observing thousands.
Music makes the world go round like nothing else.
Drum Corps Forever
I just stumbled upon all this info on Drum and Bugle corps. I used to be a Member of the Miami Crusaders from 1957 to 1959. I went to the state championships in Jacksonville, The national championships in St Paul Minnesota and also marched in Cuba in 1959 for the inauguration of Fidel castro. It was a 13 mile Parade. Anybody else have any info on former members of the Crusaders? Or a Have they all passed away. I'm Now 64. Jim.
