Make Drum Corps an Olympic Sport

2,757

The Issue

Drum Corps is a competitive art form that fits the definition of 'sport'. It is more physically demanding than some olympic sports and is equally as subjective as olympic sports that are judged by a panel. There are several benefits in making drum corps an olympic sport:

1. There are multiple American-run drum corps circuits that encourage international participation. However, there are only a handful of international corps that compete. Making drum corps an olympic sport will encourage all nations to consider starting up their own corps.

2. This will give more incentive for students to participate in music programs.

3. This will give more incentive for music programs to be funded.

4. This will further innovate the drum corps activity.

In March 2022, I will send the petition results to the International Olympic Committee for their review.
