The FEU Drum Bugle Corps (FEU DBC) | Promotional Video 2023

The FEU Drum and Bugle Corps (DBC) was organized in the 1930s by FEU founder Dr. Nicanor Reyes, Sr. to perform for the school during the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) Season and to participate in various area festivals.
The FEU DBC was the 1st runner-up in the 2009 National Drum and Bugle Corps Competition that was held in the Quirino Grandstand, Manila. From 2013-2018, the FEU DBC's Drumline won eight championships in different drumline competitions. The group won the 2015 Jember Open Marching Competition in Indonesia, where in 2016, the DBC Brassline placed third for the Brassline Battle. The FEU DBC's Drumline was also the first runner-up in the 1st Philippine International Band Competition in 2018.
Some of the current performers have musical backgrounds; most of them do not. Those with no previous training are taught by the staff and other members of the corps. Members and alumni have been consistently recognized for the marching bands they lead in their respective locales outside the campus.
Mr. Kevin Castelo, who finished his master's degree in Percussion at the University of Indiana, presently leads the FEU DBC with the assistance of Mr. Koowie Relovo.
The group has had workshops with Jun & Sandra Viray, Edgar Avenir, Antonio Reyes, Johnny Rogers, Reggie Padilla, Jacob Sawyer, Claude Diallo, John Carlo Obrero, and Isaac de Alva III.
