Lots: Drum Corps Journal

Lots is where drum corps lives between rehearsals. Journal your tour, see who's at every show, and follow the corps you love.

Lots is a private journal for marching members and a public window into the activity for everyone else. Members keep a year-round journal. Camp weeks, auditions, rehearsal blocks, tour, and the long off-season build, and choose what to share. Family, friends, and fans browse the public feed without an account.

The app's philosophy is celebration, not critique. The feed is intentionally calm. Likes and short comments from verified members only, no algorithm, no rivalries, no rage-bait.

FOR MARCHING MEMBERS
• Private journal year-round. Your photos, your captions, your decisions
• Tiered sharing. Keep posts private, members-only, corps-only, or public
• Day streaks with milestone celebrations at a week, two weeks, a month, two months, and three months of journaling
• A States Visited map that fills in as the season takes you around the country
• Verified-member badge after a quick peer or Corps Admin approval
• Comment, like, and cheer on members from other corps
• In-app camera and the system share sheet for sending posts to friends and family on iMessage, Instagram, or anywhere else
