Welcome to the homepage of the 37th Kingswood Drum & Bugle Corp.
 
The 37th Kingswood Drum & Bugle Corp provides a two tier structure for a younger element that feeds into the senior part of the organisation. The Cadet Corps provides opportunities for children aged between 8 – 14 years of age to learn a musical instrument and march a yearly show on a competitive circuit. This is the first stage for learning the basic rudiments and techniques on either percussion or brass instruments. Those who wish to participate in the performing arts of the show, have the opportunity to become a member of the Colour Guard (Dance Troop).

The transition from Cadet to Senior Corps starts around the age of 14 and members can then participate up to the age of 25. Throughout the activity we concentrate on providing a fun activity, while at the same time being able to enhance musical education in particular musical fields. Members, who have been successful and have taken the opportunity to audition in the United States, have performed with some of the top Drum Corps on Drum Corps International Circuit (DCI).
This is a summer activity which starts in the winter months with learning the new music for the yearly performance, and includes multiple competitions and performances. This timetable of events is designed to accommodate people who work and have extra studies to complete. Both the Drum & Bugle Corps and the Cadet Corps compete on the Drum Corps United Kingdom Circuit (DCUK) which concludes with a Finals performance in early October.

The benefits to our members are second to none in terms of achievements and the success of the organisation has provided opportunities for members to travel on the international scene. The role of honour speaks for it’s self in terms of achievements and success to the extent of the assistance to smaller organisations, which is encouraged in the development of teaching and instructional standards. The Corp is dedicated to success within performing arts and will continue to provide a learning and educational environment for many years to come.
Mission Statment:
Music and the performing arts connect youth with their culture through a common language crossing generational, social, and racial barriers. The activity that a young person pursues influences the type of person he or she becomes. The experience that comes with participation in a performing arts organization builds discipline, character, pride, and self-confidence at a crucial age and forms the springboard to even greater achievements in adult hood. The 37th Kingswood ‘Parents' Association performing arts programs permanently enrich the lives of young people through a commitment to youth development and performance excellence while providing enjoyment for our local community and audiences.
