Columbus Saints Drum and Bugle Corps is a Drum Corps International SoundSport competing musical team based in Columbus, Ohio emphasizing affordable music education, community outreach, and entertainment. ==History== Started in 2003 by Marshall Cheatham ;an alumnus of St Andrews Hornets Drum & Bugle Corps, as a way to provide an after school musical outlet for kids. Formerly known as the Saints Drumline Inc. the organization with its original six members grew to include as many of 40 youth, performing as a unit styled after Historically Black College and University Bands (HBCU) such as Jackson State, Grambling and similar. As the Saints Drumline the organization was integral in providing a community drum line experience allowing some members to develop their skills in a safe environment leading to many joining other ensembles and going on to higher education. In late 2012, it was announced the organization would transition to a drum and bugle corps〔http://www.drumcorpsplanet.com/2013/11/saints-drumline-forms-new-columbus-drum-corps/〕 to provide a well rounded competitive adjudicated music education experience. The corps performs on G Bugles. The majority of the bugles are a mix of two and three valve instruments, though some sections have fielded early 1970s vintage Piston/Rotor bugles. As such, the Saints is one of a handful of corps participating in Drum Corps International competition that still continue to play in the traditional key of G, whereas the overwhelming majority of corps have switched to Bb/F marching and concert brass. The corps performs at community focused events, along with competitions for SoundSport,〔http://soundsport.com/find-team/〕 Small Drum Corps Association, and private corporate events.〔http://www.columbusunderground.com/driving-park-celebrates-grand-opening-of-new-library-branch-jb1〕 For the 2015 Season, the corps performed in exhibition at two Drum Corps International Competitions; competed at two SoundSport events and a SDCA event.〔http://soundsport.com/soundsport-indianapolis-results/〕 The corps won Bronze Medals at both SoundSport Indianapolis 2014〔http://www.dci.org/news/view.cfm?news_id=ae569304-882c-45f8-8099-3ced9131f200〕 and SDCA Erie 2014 competitions.
