11 ½ MINUTES - A DRUM CORPS STORY - REMASTERED!

11 ½ MINUTES: A Drum Corps Story documents the summer of four young adults in 2001, as they toured the country with the Blue Devils Drum & Bugle Corps. This remastered version of “11 ½ Minutes” contains enhanced audio and never-before-seen footage. The documentary gives a rare glimpse into the world of one of the most extreme youth activities in America - Drum Corps! Thousands of kids give up their summers to do drum corps…and they pay to do it! Drum Corps performances have evolved from military-style marching bands of the 1930s to Broadway-caliber, Cirque du Soleil-like productions. 23 years since this documentary was shot, drum corps has undergone many changes - tour fees have soared, climate change has altered rehearsal schedules, and performance demands have heightened. The remastered version of “11 ½ Minutes” is a time capsule of an activity going through a seismic shift.
“The most comprehensive, entertaining, and inside look at the drum corps activity.”
-Jarrod Madrigal, Drum Corps World
“The best documentary about drum corps!” -Ed Dempsey, Drum Corps International

It's crazy that I competed against some of these people when I marched Cadets in 2000. I've been in love with BD since 97.

Great video! I marched with Guardsmen 1975 and 1976. Guardsmen made finals in Philly 1976, so I was on the field for the scores. Blue Devils first DCI title! Styles and rules change, but the great effort by all is the same in every decade. I slept on many gym floors and squeezed my 6'1" frame into those bus seats. Thank you for all the years of great drum corps! I saw Blast live a good example.❤🎉😊
