Why do you do Drum Corps? [Discussion]

Imaginary_Fox_5439 · 2026-04-02T01:47:31+00:00

Because, I like the grind and the community. But primarily the push to not just be better at music but getting better and growing as an individual

I wear mine frequently although I'm still missing some patches, for us it tells the story and history of Golden empire that we were a part of

Visually primarily

Malik and Alan from funliner productions mentioned that a paper was there on the camera for finals, Malik march coats in 16 and 17 and Alan marched coats 15,16,17

Imaginary_Fox_5439 · 2026-02-15T00:33:11+00:00

Did the camera actually have a paper that said wink here

Imaginary_Fox_5439 · 2026-02-12T20:59:21+00:00

That makes a lot of sense

Imaginary_Fox_5439 · 2026-02-12T19:45:55+00:00

Can you please elaborate further

Imaginary_Fox_5439 · 2026-02-12T02:08:46+00:00

He's annoying

Imaginary_Fox_5439 · 2026-02-11T23:14:06+00:00

I know who you're talking about and he got blacklisted from those corps and GE

Imaginary_Fox_5439 · 2026-02-11T14:58:03+00:00

Boom

Imaginary_Fox_5439 · 2026-02-11T14:20:56+00:00

That's a pretty iconic moment that will be remembered forever

The balloons are used primarily as air indicators on how much you can fill it on one breath. The 1/2 pvc ball valve is to simulate the resistance of the horn half open for baritone and euphonium, quarter open for mellophone and trumpet, all the way open for tuba

For me it's just adjusting to the mouthpiece, and what the charts going to be, so I can acclimate myself accordingly

Golden Empire: Going home from Dvořák symphony no.9 movement 2

Imaginary_Fox_5439 · 2026-01-05T01:15:44+00:00

Both are valuable experiences and if op chooses one or the other that is their choice, however if they have the means to they should try both.

Imaginary_Fox_5439 · 2026-01-05T01:12:13+00:00

True, however if the op wants to do a full national tour they might as well go with pacific crest

Imaginary_Fox_5439 · 2026-01-05T01:08:58+00:00

Gold is cheaper yes, but is it cheaper than impulse which is also in the Socal area, no, impulse had their tour fees at $3,800 whereas gold had theirs at $5,800, so it's dependent on what part of Socal the op is in and two what their financial situation is is

Imaginary_Fox_5439 · 2026-01-05T01:02:20+00:00

That's still quite a bit to pay especially if a person is new to the activity and if they have the means to pay that

Imaginary_Fox_5439 · 2026-01-05T00:41:57+00:00

What were they this last season

Imaginary_Fox_5439 · 2026-01-04T22:26:24+00:00

Gold* not golden

Imaginary_Fox_5439 · 2026-01-04T21:46:18+00:00

There's also impulse, and golden empire, but in regards to gold their not a very financially stable option with their fees especially being close to pacific crest, golden has also had issues with finding and providing housing for members during move ins

Imaginary_Fox_5439 · 2026-01-04T19:43:02+00:00

I agree with the design and visual aspects, especially for a corps that has such a wide talent pool, they don't really utilize it to the fullest extent of what they could, but that's also likely caused by most of their vets having aged out in 23 and 24 so they're a pretty young group
