Last week, I posted a quick introduction to the drum corps activity and DCI. If you missed it, you can check it out here: An Introduction to drum corps and DCI
In that post, I mentioned that drum corps performers work hard. Very hard! In fact, ESPN2 picked up the broadcast of the DCI Championships in 2005. During the broadcast, they had a side feature about a performer that they hooked up to all sorts of monitors to measure their energy level during a performance. The results and observations were very interesting. Having performed in a competitive high school marching band that is very similar to drum corps, I completely agree with ESPN’s conclusions about DCI. Enjoy the clip!
