My drum corps mallet playing experience was in the summer of 99 with the Cavaliers. I found it to be wonderful for my chops, development of ensmeble responsiblity, and making great friendships. Some people argue that drum corps abuse the instruments and players, and when I "marched"/participated we were aware of these abusive tendencies and avoided them at all costs. All drum corps do not subscribe to the same beliefs and practices we had at the Cavaliers, but as a collective, I feel that being in a front ensemble with a Drum and Bugle Corps is extremely developmental for your chops (musically and technically), ensemble awareness and responsibility, and learning how to make something perfect. I found it to be a wonderful experience that if I were young enough to do over and over again, I would.
