Health & Wellness Program

Drum corps is a physically and mentally demanding activity. Members push themselves to their limit and then develop the skills, endurance and stamina to push beyond those limits. Maintaining the members’ safety and health are of the utmost importance to BD Performing Arts. The Health & Wellness team supports our members to keep them at the top of their game.

The goal of the Health & Wellness program is to:

• Educate members regarding injury prevention, illness and tour safety
• Develop physical training recommendations for injury prevention
• Provide on-site care for members as needed, in addition to recommendations on member participation when injured or ill
• Provide BDPA staff and administration with the latest advancements in injury prevention and illness education, to include COVID-19
• Development and application of evidence and research-based practices to all programs
