You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.200.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:16, 2 September 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

In the Philippines, '''drum and lyre corps''' is a [[marching band|marching]] ensemble consisting of strictly [[Marching percussion|percussion instruments]] and a [[Color guard (flag spinning)|color guard]] section. The drum and lyre corps originated in the Philippines, as an economical alternative to regular brass bands or [[Drum and bugle corps (modern)|drum and bugle corps]]. The instrumentation of drum and lyre corps consists of a typical [[marching band]] ([[snare drum|snare]], [[tenor drum|tenor]], [[bass drum|bass]] drums, and [[cymbal]]s) with the bell lyre section. The lyre sections consist of [[bell lyre]]s, [[glockenspiel]]s, as well as [[vibraphone]]s and [[marimba]]s. During competitions, drum and lyre corps usually include a [[Front ensemble|pit section]] which consists of the typical pit instruments used by drum and bugle corps.

== Composition ==
Standard drum and lyre corps has 4 to 48 members. There is one leader, who serves as the conductor and leads the band in [[Parade|parades]] and [[Exhibition|exhibitions]]. He uses a conductor stick and must be shown respect by the band.

The main part of the band has two sections: the drum sections and the lyre sections.

The lyre section makes up the majority of the band. They play the melodic parts. A member of the band that consists of this section is called a ''lyrist.'' In bigger bands, the band may add a bass lyre, a bell lyre with a lower range of keys, and sometimes a grand lyre, a bell lyre with a wide range of keys.

The drum section serves as the accompaniment of the band. It is composed with a group of [[snare drum]]s, [[tenor drum|multiple tenor drum]]s and [[bass drum]]s (melodic and non-melodic) and sometimes [[clash cymbals]]. Sometimes, they add [[Tambourine|tambourines]], [[Woodblock (instrument)|woodblocks]], triangles, and maracas in this section and assign them to a specific member carrying a snare drum or a lyre.

Most drum and lyre corps in the Philippines sport a color guard section similar to US modern drum and bugle corps.

Drum and lyre corps include Majorettes and Color Guards as well, these members add visual appeal to the band.

Majorettes are performers who combine twirling a baton and dance movements, they may also have other props such as a flag, etc.

Color guards add color and visual to the band, holding colorful flags while doing routines and steps.

== Competitions ==
Numerous drum and lyre competitions are held in the Philippines commonly in each municipality or city. In a parade, they are always accompanied by [[majorettes]] or color guards. They compete in the form of exhibitions. The biggest governing body in the National Drum & Lyre corps scene is the Philippine Drum & Lyre Associates Incorporated, established in 2011 and headed by Vincent Ace S. Mangosing as founding chairman.  They stage yearly national competitions. The most recent one was May 13, 2017, in the Strike Gymnasium in Bacoor Cavite in cooperation with the City Government of Bacoor. ((update needed|date=February 2020)) Competitions are also held in many towns and cities in the Philippines commonly in celebration of a festival.

Naga hosts the Regional Drum & Lyre and Majorette Exhibition of the Bicol region regularly. This event is hosted by BFARCIL. The latest event was on September 12, 2015.<ref>((Cite web|title = Peñafrancia 2015 schedule of events|url = http://www.philstar.com/nation/2015/09/14/1499707/penafrancia-2015-schedule-events|website = philstar.com|accessdate = 2015-11-01))</ref>((update needed|date=February 2020))
