Member Safety
Since 2001, The Academy Drum & Bugle Corps has been dedicated to building great people through great performances. We fulfill this mission by instilling in our members music and performance skills through the experience of participating in the drum and bugle corps activity, as well as life skills developed through experiencing the self-discipline and teamwork that is unique to our activity. During the competitive summer season, the 154 members of The Academy will live, eat and learn together.
The members of The Academy are our most important asset, and their safety is our highest priority. To that end, The Academy is governed by a strict code of conduct for all participants, staff, and volunteers and take any allegation regarding improper behavior of any kind extremely seriously. The Academy also has policies and procedures in place governing the proper reporting and investigation of any such allegations. The Academy is dedicated to maintaining a supportive, safe, and healthy environment for all members, staff, and volunteers.
