It was not perfectly performed -- e.g. dropped stick, poor alignment on recovery moves.

That was the best drumu line I have ever seen and I was in a drumu corp for 6 years and never witnessed anything as amazing or I would have stayed in, loved it!!!!!!!

[@Sam-hf8nq]

Never watched a drumline in my life. This was completely off the charts. Can you imagine how many hours of practice this took?!

[@garybenjamin9573]

Hours & hours & hours and MORE hours!

[@BennyCFD]

It took 97.3 hours of practice.............I looked it up

[@mikegamerguy4776]

My highschool marching band won state and we practiced some way shape or form every day and had the entire week of bandcamp etc. The post-highschool drum corps do it full time. Lots of hard work and they pay for the privilege IIRC.

[@hmackie6823]

I was a drummer in marching band and these people are light years ahead of us is still cool to hear and see

[@michaeldriggersfreebird57]

I took my son and his best friend to the Southeast Drum Corps International Competition in Atlanta, GA. They worked the competition for DCI and we were asked by one of the Drum corps if we would like to see what it’s like being on the road performing and practicing and living a highly disciplined life at these Pre Competition facilities. They slept in a high school gymnasium and used their football/practice fields for practice and training. My Army basic training was easier than their training. They are seriously dedicated individuals.

Percussion Ling-Lings. Practice 40 hours per day. TwoSet Violins need to see this!!

[@bruschmidt9943]

They practice endlessly at home. The only thing I can add is, how do they practice the stick tossing at home? 😕 it's necessary to have someone equally experienced to catch & toss them back & in rythym?

Almost 10 years later and this is still super impressive!

Basel Switzerland's "Top Secret Drum Corps" has been around for a long time and is considered one of the best, if not THE best, drum corps in the world. The members are all volunteers and range in age and occupation, including mechanics and bankers. One of the best Top Secret performances on You Tube is the one with the Royal Marines. Can't see enough of it.

Yep. People should check them out. There are lots of vids out there

Emily is now 33. I'm 61. Can never get enough of this fabulous band. Did you realise they only come to England every 3 years?
