A drum and bugle corps or drum corps (pronounced core in singular and cores in plural) is a musical marching unit, similar to a marching band, consisting of brass instruments, percussion instruments, and a color guard. Drum corps perform in field competitions, parades, and other civic functions operating as Non-profit organizations. Most groups participate in competitive summer touring circuits operated by Drum Corps International (DCI), Drum Corps Associates (DCA), or an overseas derivative such as Drum Corps United Kingdom (DCUK), and Drum Corps Europe (DCE). It is primarily a youth activity (aged 22 and under), although DCA corps allow members of any age. Competitions occur on football fields and are judged based upon general effect, visual performance, and musical performance.
Musical repertoires can vary widely between shows, including symphonic, jazz, big band, contemporary, rock, wind band, vocal, Broadway, and Latin music. During summer tours, DCI and DCA sanction competitions across the United States and Canada, while DCUK and others sanction competitions in Europe and Japan. Each drum corps prepares a single show, approximately 10–12 minutes in length, and refines it throughout the entire summer tour. Highly competitive corps spend 8 to 10 weeks on tour full-time, practicing and performing their program until reaching the circuit Championships at the end of the summer, where all corps come together to compete for a title.
