Top Secret Drum Corps
This is for anyone who has ever seen a drum corp performance, are fascinated by them, or have performed in one. I found the video below rather entertaining and a joy to watch. Being that I have family and friends who have either played in a drum corp or high school marching band, I felt compelled to blog about it.
The Top Secret Drum Corps were asked to perform at the Royal Edinburgh Tattoo last year, and have played in several venues, including the United States, Australia and Europe. According to online sources, Top Secret has its roots in the rich drumming traditions of the band's
home city, Basel, Switzerland, which is known for its annual carnival
called Fasnacht. Too cool, Fasnacht is my sister's last name.
The drum corp, which has become world renowned are made up of factory workers, students, teachers, farmers, regular folks like you and I. Simply amazing.

Loved it. I've always wanted to play drums. And I've been wanting to go to Switzerland. Luther has been and wants to take me. Can't wait.
I remember doing that! But without the kilts. Those were fun times being in charge of the biggest base drum, but the best part were the H O T drummer high school boys. Oh sweet memories indeed.
