Because of the intense athleticism in which drum corps demands on the human body, we here at The LA Sports Network officially classify, the Drum and Bugle Corps activity, a sport equal to pro basketball, pro football, or any professional sport that demands high levels of energy and athleticism .
Most people think of a Drum Corps as just another marching band.... Well that’s about as far from the truth as you can get. Actually, the athleticism of a Drum and Bugle corps is as demanding if not more, than the NBA, Olympic track and field, and the NFL, with the mind set of college Calculus…..all at once!
Yes, this is a SPORT!
