And just cause I know you all are dying to know the history of DRUM AND BUGLE CORPS

.... They are a little different than the bands you may know from high schools and colleges.

Drum Corps International (DCI) emerged from a uniquely American activity that had its beginnings after World War I, when veterans formed corps to perform in parades as a way to celebrate patriotism. Many of these units, playing traditional no-valve bugles and rudimentary drums, were attached to the VFW, American Legion, Catholic Youth Organizations, and Police Athletic Leagues. The groups soon developed into legitimate musical units, and in the '60s became more and more competitive. Through the '60s and '70s, corps evolved from quasi-military and urban groups to show biz and suburban performers. They began to integrate jazz, classical, pop, and Broadway music and dance. Instrumentation evolved to include a wide range of bell-front, rotor, and multi-valve brass horns and sophisticated drums and percussive instruments, including keyboards.
But DCI's crowning achievement is the unparalleled experiences it offers to thousands of youth between the ages of 14 and 22 -- life-enhancing, character-building experiences, including the pure joy of learning and playing music, the exhilaration of athletic achievement, and the thrill of performing before thousands of cheering fans time and again.

Congrats and good luck, Lance! The Caveliers are great! I think you will be making a stop in my city, at my alma mater, University of the Pacific, if past schedules hold true. If so, I may just try to hunt you down and give you a big Cali howdy!
