Who can join?
The City of Coventry Corps of Drums is part of the Coventry Performing Arts Service and is open to those between the ages of 8 and 21.

Do I need to know how to play an instrument before I join?
No prior musical or marching knowledge is required,as full structured training is given by our own dedicated training staff. The Corps will provide you with an instrument and a smart uniform, which is worn during public appearances only.

How often do u meet up?
We practice every Wednesday evening, from 7:25pm, and Sunday morning, from 10:25am, in the Walsgrave area of Coventry. We currently have around 35 marching members who come from Nuneaton, Bedworth, Wolvey, Kenilworth and Warwick as well as all areas of Coventry.

Do the corps have their own transport?
The Corps travel far and wide to engagements most weekends during the Summer months in their own coach both in the UK and abroad.

Why not come and visit us at one of our rehearsals to see what we do, have a go on the instruments to see which one you like best, meet the boys and have a chat with our staff who can answer any questions you or your parents may have, you can even buy a drink and some sweets from our Tuck Shop.
