Hi everyone!
Hope you are keeping safe and getting ready for the upcoming holiday season.
The Great American Drum and Bugle Corps was created for the purpose of marching in the July 4th parade in Philadelphia next summer. Along the way, we were given the chance to pick up some additional performances, which – at the time- made sense to take on and give folks more than one opportunity to perform that week. Unfortunately, one of the biggest comments we are hearing from people on the fence or unable to commit is that it is too much of a time commitment, requiring them to come in on Monday and be with the group through Sunday. So, we’re shortening it!
We understand that summertime is generally tough for many, with PTO spread out among vacations, family obligations, etc., not to mention the financial aspect. The revised week will now bring you in on Wednesday instead of Monday, and your commitments will end Friday instead of Saturday/checking out Sunday.
It’ll now be 3 / 4 days instead of a full week.
We're happy to let all Great American Drum Corps members know that their first piece of music is available for download. Log in now, to access your music files.
If you are still undecided, sitting on the fence about participating, don't delay too long. Half the fun is working on your music and getting your chops back in shape, while sharing your past experiences with many others who are doing the same thing.

What are you waiting for? Life hands us limited opportunities to relive memories. Here is your chance. Don't be late!
