Before going into details of what a Drum and Bugle Corps is well shed light on an important aspect of the matter, the name itself. If you are having a bit 'of all colors, so you should clarify the matter once and for all.
The correct pronunciation (in IPA symbols) is as follows: / drʌm / / Ænd / / byugəl / / kɔr / ie "Dram end biùgol heart." The trick lies in the word "Corps", where the letter "P" should not be pronounced. Just consider the correct pronunciation is the same as "Core" (core) and not that of "Corpse" (dead body). In addition, the 'S' is pronounced only when the plural form, while in the written word does not change (whatever the number). The pronunciation of the plural form will be / kɔrz /, or "Course".
