Membership is an on going process, fall being the best time to join to get a full rehearsal season but members are
accepted all year long. To become a member of the Danbury Drum Corps, you must at least 14 years old. Previous
musical experience is a plus but not necessary. Music and marching lessons are provided for each member as well
as musical instruments and uniforms.
Our musicial make-up:
Brass - The brass section is comprised of a blend of 1st, 2nd and 3rd trumpets coupled with a multi-part baritone trumpet section providing complete melody and
harmonies giving the corps it’s full sound.
Fife & Bells - The fifes and bells section provides the high end melody essential to our traditional martial music selections.
Percussion - The percussion section provides the cadence and the backbone beat for the corps, consisting of snare drums, tenor drums, quints, bass and
cymbals.
Color Guard - The Color Guard section of the corps comprises members who are trained in marching and handling rifles, and flags. It is this section that
carries the corps “colors” up front and precedes the corps in parades and performances.
To inquire further about the corps send us an email or click the link below and fill out the form. If you would like to stop by and see us, we rehearse every Wednesday
night, from 7:30 to 9:30, September thru the end of May at The Catholic War Veterans hall on Shalvoys Lane in Danbury CT.
