Drum Corps, Music, and The Marching Arts | Adam Zapf

2 min read



Hi everyone! My name is Adam Zapf. I’m 18 years old and from St. Louis, Missouri, and I currently live in Orlando, Florida. I am a third year participant of the activity known as Drum Corps International, and I have been in the organizations Spirit of Atlanta, The Cavaliers, and currently The Blue Devils, where I plan to stay the next 5 years. I’ve been playing Trumpet for about 3 years now, so roughly when I first got involved in the activity. I hold a deep passion for music education, along with Trumpet playing, and I hope to pursue that in my future career. Outside of that, I love rock climbing, going to Disney, and going on nice road trips! My future goal is to become a trumpet player for the Walt Disney Company, along with directing my own high school marching band.
Involving myself in this activity was at first a hobby, and I came into it for the experience, but through that time, I developed a form of a talent with my trumpet playing, and I’m hoping to make it into a career.

I want to share to the world the activity that is known as Drum Corps International, and with that, I want to share to the world how this organization can help musicians and young performers across the world develop their portfolio, and help those pursuing a field in the performing arts by giving them a professional experience, along with helping them build connections with people all across the world.
