  • Drum Corps International and the Cavaliers
    TOUR HOUSING Drum Corps International and The Cavaliers Drum Corps International (DCI) is a non-profit organization that offers a competitive circuit for independent non-profit youth performing arts organizations from around the world. These ensembles, known as drum and bugle corps, attract members from across the country and around the world and make up what is widely recognized as Marching Music’s Major League ™. The average age of membership in these ensembles is approximately 20 years old. The nature of their performances is similar to a college marching band format but they do not perform at sporting events. Programs are more sophisticated, with much more time and expertise given to perfecting shows that are as athletic as they are artistic. DCI competitions attract tens of thousands of people in live audience settings and live feed cinema viewings every year. The members of corps such as The Cavaliers spend the entire summer touring the United States, Canada and in some cases overseas. Each member pays dues for this experience, which are used to hire staff and cover food and travel expenses. Staff members range from professional educators to Broadway designers and are significant contributors to the educational experience the members receive. Corps raise additional funds through private industry and municipalities to meet the immense cost of travel. Corps members routinely sleep on buses and in school gymnasiums while on the road. On rare occasions, they enjoy the luxury of dorm room accommodations. The drum corps activity is a national treasure that can only exist because of partnerships with sponsoring schools who furnish rehearsal and housing facilities.

  • 40 Drum Rudiments with Video Examples
    Drum rudiment 1 Drum rudiment In percussion music, a rudiment is one of the basic patterns used in rudimental drumming. These patterns of drum strokes can be combined in many ways to create music. History The origin of snare rudiments can be traced back to Swiss mercenaries armed with long polearms. The use of pikes in close formation required a great deal of coordination. The sound of the tabor was used to set the tempo and communicate commands with distinct drumming patterns. These drumming patterns became the basis of the snare drum rudiments. The first written rudiment goes back to the year 1612 in Basel, Switzerland.[1] The cradle of rudimental drumming is said to be France, where professional drummers became part of the King's honour guard in the 17th and 18th centuries. The craft was perfected during the reign of Napoleon I. Le Rigodon is one of the cornerstones of modern rudimental drumming.[1] There have been many attempts to formalize a standard list of snare drum rudiments. The National Association of Rudimental Drummers, an organization established to promote rudimental drumming, put forward a list of 13 essential rudiments, and later a second set of 13 to form the original 26. The Percussive Arts Society reorganized the first 26 and added another 14 to form the current 40 International Drum Rudiments. Currently, the International Association of Traditional Drummers is working to once again promote the original 26 rudiments. Today there are four main Rudimental Drumming cultures: Swiss Basler Trommeln, Scottish Pipe Drumming, American Ancient Drumming, and American Modern Drumming.

Read on as Brian Seiler, MS, PES, ATC, and Alyssa McPherson, MS, LAT, ATC discuss the challenges, surprises and lessons learned throughout their summers working with corps athletes.
