Gulf Coast Sound Drum & Bugle Corps

Houston, Texas

Cause Description:
Gulf Coast Sound is the only competitive all-age drum and bugle corps in South Texas. We have been serving the people of Houston and the surrounding areas for over five years and during that time have competed regionally and nationally on the Drum Corps Associates circuit, the Texas Color Guard Circuit, the Drum Corps Midwest Circuit, and the Drum Corps Associates South circuit. The Corps earned first place honors in the Texas Color Guard Circuit in 2002 and second place in its division in 2003. In 2004 and 2005, the Corps competed against rivals from all over the world at the DCA Championships in Scranton, Pennsylvania. In 2006 the Corps travelled to the DCA World Championships, this time in Rochester, NY. In addition to summer performance activities, Gulf Coast Sound has appeared at numerous local events and is the only drum corps chosen to participate in the Galveston Island celebration of Mardi Gras each year. Gulf Coast Sound provides a valuable learning experience for people of all ages, giving them the opportunity to learn and develop musical and performance skills, to travel across the country performing in many different arenas and to learn the disciplines necessary to function as a contributing member of a highly motivated team. The drum corps activity is not a marching band. While similar in nature, drum corps is so much more. We work hard and develop family-like relationships with the members of our corps. Friendships and memories made while part of a drum corps last a lifetime!
