Drum Corps Shows: Best, Worst, & What Were They Thinking?!
In the Lot
With just 46 days until the start of the 2026 competitive drum corps season, the GErMs are looking both forward… and backward.
In this episode, Daniel Montoya Jr., Aaron “Through a Glass” Blackley, and William “Tell” Bradfield dive into their favorite, least favorite, best, worst, most underrated, most overrated, and most confusing shows from *almost* every World Class drum corps.
From legendary masterpieces to shows that left fans saying “wait… what?”, no corps is completely safe.
Which programs consistently deliver? Which shows aged like fine wine? Which ones absolutely did not? And which productions deserve a second look years later?
Whether you’re a longtime drum corps fan, a current marcher, or someone who just loves heated marching arts discussions, this episode is guaranteed to spark debate.
