Many of the top marching musicians of a region participating in an event similar to marching band, but different in the fact that it uses only brass and percussion instruments. Woodwinds (clarinets, flutes, saxophones, etc) are excluded from drum corps. Akin to marching band on steroids, and providing an unforgettable and powerfull experiance to it's members.
Examples of drum corps:
The Cavaliers
Santa Clara Vanguard
Bluecoats
Glassmen
Carolina Crown
Phantom Regiment

when a marine realizes he was punked by the recruiter and signed his or her soul over to an unforgiving bull shit gang whose entire existance survives only by the 500 kilo ton nuclear destruction of the motivation, hopes and dreams of every single junior enlisted until they reach a psychological threshold of "brainwashed"
first guy: "Dude why the hell are we the only ones burning shit every fucking day?"
second guy: "I dunno man, fuck the marine corps!"

Get the fuck the marine corps mug.Many of the top marching musicians of a region participating in an event similar to marching band, but different in the fact that it uses only brass and percussion instruments. Woodwinds (clarinets, flutes, saxophones, etc) are excluded from drum corps. Despite what many bandos will say, Drum Corps is not "marching band on steroids," but a totally beast than both college or high school marching bands. It requires immense amounts of both time and energy to march in a drum corps, and is a truly amazing experience for all Corps Members.

Get the Valiant Corps mug.IN GENERAL:
The Food was gross (as a vegetarian, they once served me a RAW POTATO for dinner!!) ...But it was FREE!
The dorms were old and falling apart (The furnace would decide to stop working in the middle of winter and blow out FREEZING cold air, it would take a minimum of 3 days to get maintenance in to fix it) ...But it was a FREE bed to sleep in!
The roommates were immature, loud, and freakin INSANE! (I watched this one girl make out with her stuffed animal dog for an hour before crying herself to sleep) ...But it taught you INTERPERSONAL SKILLS!
The leaders in dorm were full of themselves, gave bad advice, and some even stole things from others. (My room leader once during chores got into my dresser and stole $35 dollars out of my I.D. Pouch) ...But they taught you how NOT to be a leader!
The staff liked to patronize the students. Most were write-up happy. (We sometimes got write ups for walking in the grass) ...But the ones that really cared about the students would have done ANYTHING to help us out!
All-in-All
Job corps really sucked, but if you go in with the right head about things and follow the rules (no matter how pathetic they are) you'll survive just fine! Job corps was good for me, and good for a ton of other people too!
...oh! Did I mention that they PAY YOU TO RECEIVE A FREE EDUCATION?!?! That's right, YOU GET MONEY FOR IT!!!
