Our Mission
Making Marching Possible
March Drum Corps is a nonprofit organization dedicated to breaking down the financial and educational barriers that keep students out of the marching arts. We connect performers with high-quality instruction, mentorship and scholarship opportunities, so that cost and access don’t decide who gets to march.
Accessible instruction
Lessons with instructors who bring real drum corps experience to every student.
Scholarship opportunities
Funding that helps students cover the cost of marching with a corps.
Educational resources
Video lessons, audition guidance and conversations with leaders in the activity.
Student development
Mentorship that builds musicianship, confidence and audition readiness.
Programs
How We Help You Grow

Scholarships
A portion of every lesson fee supports MDC's scholarship fund, reducing the financial barriers that keep students from marching drum corps.
