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 seven 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, 2005, 2006, 2007, & 2008 the Corps competed against rivals from all over the country at the DCA Championships. In 2009, the Corps will again travel to Rochester, NY for the DCA World Championships.
In addition to summer performance activities, Gulf Coast Sound has appeared at numerous local events and has founded "Brass on the Bayou", the first DCA Show in Texas. GCS is also the only drum corps chosen to participate in the New Orleans and Galveston Island celebration of Mardi Gras and the H-E-B Thanksgiving Day Parade each year. The Corps supports the Drum Corps Tigers organization as well with a yearly concert at their fundraising lunch.
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 stadiums 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!
