Highly promotional and completely lacking in sourcing; the article is very much a stand-in for a jubilant organizational website. Four pages of Google hits did not give me a single reliable citation that indicates it passes the GNG or CORP. Drmies (talk) 22:29, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is a legitimate non-profit marching arts group from the Atlanta area, not a corporation. They participate in the Drum Corps Associates league. They also have an active facebook page here. No reason to delete. IAmJohnGalt (talk) 02:29, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I like marching bands, but I could not find the reliable and independent sources needed to satisfy Wikipedia:Notability (music). Facebook, the group's, website, and Youtube videos are not adequate.The wins in competitions are not enough. Being a "legitimate non-profit marching arts group" does not entitle this organization to have an article in Wikipedia as the previous poster implies.

Delete Sources are all non-RS, including Facebook. I did a check of Google News and Google Books and could find nothing else. Fails GNG. Chetsford (talk) 08:40, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What about sources like Jupiter Music or Dynasty Band or Cherokee Tribune?IAmJohnGalt (talk) 03:34, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Unreliable sources and promotional wording makes this article no good for Wikipedia. Bythebooklibrary (talk) 19:55, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
