An intense performance art with an impressive variety and dedication by its performers, drum and bugle corps (shorthand drum corps) is an activity combining unparalleled musical, physical, and mental demands. A rich history has brought the activity to where it stands today, governed by such organizations as DCI, DCA, and DCE.
At present, Wikipedia's information on drum corps varies greatly from article to article. Some need to be created, some rewritten from the ground up, others expanded to truly do justice to the activity and its performers. The goal of this project is to improve the articles relating to drum corps and make Wikipedia a premier resource on the activity.
15 September 2005 by Mr Bound.
This project covers all drum corps articles, including American and European corps at both the junior and senior level, as well as articles about individual corps such as the Blue Devils or The Cavaliers. In addition, this project will also be responsible for applicable sections on drum and bugle corps in articles where marching bands and drum corps intersect, such as drum majors, marching percussion, articles on horns and drums, and other assorted articles. The primary focus, however, is the creation and maintenance of all things drum corps.
The WikiProject will also be responsible for articles pertaining to winter guard (governed by Winter Guard International, which is arguably a related activity).

New corps seeking to tour with DCI in 2015:
Here's a list of current (October, 2014) active DCA corps with no article:
These DCI corps seemingly had articles at one time; if they were deleted, they were not archived in deletionpedia.org
These are former DCI Top Twelve Finalist corps with no article:(The Muchachos Drum and Bugle Corps is NOT the former DCI Top Twelve Finalist corps...)
These are former DCI Champions in classes other than the current World Class with no article (Might be a subject for one inclusive article.):
NOTE: Even a stub is a start! Be bold! BUT... be sure to include a lead paragraph, the DEFAULTSORT address & inclusive Categories, or risk almost immediate deletion by a zealous moderator... Also, be sure to create a redirect to that page (such as Kiwanis Kavaliers for Kiwanis Kavaliers Drum and Bugle Corps) or put a link on an appropriate disambiguation page ( Blue Devils for Blue Devils Drum and Bugle Corps).
Finally, make sure a WikiProject Drum Corps tag is put on the talk page!
All current World & Open Class DCI corps are now present and accounted for. All corps have now been tagged with the Project as well.
Since the Winter Guard International page falls under this project, I have a suggestion about it. Is it at all possible to create seperate pages for indoor guar, indoor percussion, and indoor winds? Aaathomas08 ( talk) 22:44, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
