The current membership is made up of experienced musicians from various junior and senior drum corps, military and marching bands, and other musical organizations.

Visitors are welcome.
This 12,000 square foot building has a Main Hall that is rented to the public for social occasions such as weddings, dances etc. This provides us with an ongoing source of revenue to help finance our activities. There are 10 soprano and 8 mellophones. 300 past members are actively involved in many social activities. These organizations are now extinct, but the memories of them live on in the hearts of a great many of the Hamilton Firefighters Drum Corps.
