Here are drummers practicing...without their drums. Members of the Cadets Drum and Bugle Corps practice on a field next to the Sports Center on Sunday afternoon. The 150 members of the corps arrived in Ada on Friday. At this early-on stage, the drummers are learning their moves on the field. Later, they will take up their drums and add the music to their steps. The corps practice in small groups in the mornings and afternoons, no matter how hot the blazing sun. From 7-9 p.m. at the ONU stadium, the Cadets practice as an entire group.
