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

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.

n.
A musical genre which uses drums as its only instrument or drums and other instruments. Drum corps may be marching or non-marching. Use of the term to describe more complex instrumentation combinations may be either a commonly-used shorthand within the particular genre, or a misapplication of the term as a result of ignorance or misinformation. The specific type of drum corps depends upon the type or types of drums used, the presence of other instruments, and the character and history of the specific genre. See also fife and drum corps, drum and bugle corps, pipe and drum corps.

1.) A sport in which a large group of people,often 135 people, aged 15-21 play brass and percussion instruments while marching a strenous drill. There are also non-instrumental performers known as colorguard, which produces effect for the show using various devices, often flags, rifles, sabers, etc.
I'm going to a drum corps show this friday.

1. One of the best unrecognized sports in the world. Including mostly brass instruments, colorguard and a pit.
2. A 'professional' marching band so to speak that tours the USA for weeks at a time. Sleeping on gym floors, riding on busses, and being fed after spending long strenuous hours in the sun for marching rehersals.
Hey Otto, did you catch that kick ass marching drum corp show during the DCI finals?

A current fad where drum corps use amplified vocalists to accompany their brass and percussion sections in competition.
"Drum Corps-aoke is just another sign of desperation."
