The purpose of this study is to trace the historical development of drum and bugle corps and·to discover their origins, their purposes, and their evolution. Since the drum and bugle corps style of marching has been implemented by many current high school band programs, this study provides a background of knowledge through which instrumental music directors can better understand the development and role of drum and bugle corps in the total band program. This study involved investigating the origins and history of drum and bugle corps, studying the history and evolution of drum and bugle corps in the state of Kansas, and taking an in-depth look at the history and activities of the Horton, Kansas, Drum and Bugle Corps.
